If you are worried that someone you know is considering suicide:
The situation is an emergency and immediate action is needed if any of these signs are present:
  • in the act of hurting or killing him or herself, has a weapon or other lethal means
  • threatening to hurt or kill him or herself
  • looking for ways to hurt or kill him or herself, talking about a plan to do so
  • talking about death or suicide and is acting anxious or agitated
  • talking about death or suicide and is intoxicated or "high" on drugs
If any of these are present:
  • Call 911 or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-8255
  • Don't leave the person alone.
  • Remove all lethal means (weapons, medications, etc.) from the vicinity.
  • Take the person to a nearby Emergency Room or walk-in psychiatric crisis clinic.
  • Do not put yourself in danger; if you are concerned about your own safety, call 911.

A Helping Hand Counseling Center exists to significantly improve the mental health and well-being of all members of the community through counseling, education, support and advocacy.
