Suicide is a very serious situation.
If you or someone you know is feeling suicidal and is considering an attempt, please call one of the numbers above or contact a Mental Health professional or law enforcement agency immediately. For most suicidal people, help from others is very desirable for adequate solution of the problems that are drawing them toward suicide. Most potentially helpful are the friends and family of the suicidal person although contact with a professional is essential when the suicide risk is high. For the untrained person, a suicide threat may generate such high anxiety that the problem is dealt with by thoughts of denial in the helping person as well as in the suicidal person. The suicidal person's feelings must not be denied but must be accepted as an important part of the situation.
