HOW CAN YOU HELP?

WE MUST TALK ABOUT SUICIDE TO REDUCE THE SHAME IN SEEKING HELP. WE MUST ACCEPT THAT DEPRESSION IS A LEGITIMATE AND TREATABLE ILLNESS. IF WE LEARN MORE ABOUT SUICIDE, WE CAN SAVE LIVES.

If someone you know is thinking about suicide - think QPR
Question them- ask if they are considering suicide.
Persuade them to talk.
Refer them for professional help. If you feel that the danger is imminent, do not leave them alone: Call 9-1-1 or Call Geauga County Copeline at 1-888-285-5665.
