content: Helpline suicide prevention sign from the Mid-Hudson Bridge. This sign was mounted on the Mid-Hudson Bridge by the Dutchess County Department of Mental Hygiene as part of a program to dissuade people from committing suicide. The sign directed people in distress to one of two specially designed radio-telephones that put them in contact with a nurse at a local hospital who could intervene. (For one of the phones, see catalog #2009.0226.01).
