Understanding Suicide: How to Respond
August 26, 2022
A suicidal crisis may be brief, sometimes lasting as little as ten minutes. Experts agree simple steps can help save lives: ask the person directly if they are considering suicide and stay with them if they say yes, listen with empathy, create a safe environment by removing lethal means from the home and get help from a medical professional.
If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide and seeking emotional support, there are crisis lines available 24/7 via phone, chat, or text. Call 988 - the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Click here for more resources from Indiana Suicide Prevention.
