Do not leave the person alone unless you are danger of harm. Studies show that most people will not harm themselves when they are with someone. The first contact , the person receiving the card or cry for help, does not have to be a counselor. Adults - call their parents, other help or 911. Please see example of the Yellow Ribbon Card below or click here .
Studies show that the crisis peaks just prior to a suicide attempt and is often a temporary crises.
