If you feel suicidal, or know someone who is thinking about suicide, get help.
Here’s what you can do:
Call (800) 273-TALK (8255), a 24-hour national crisis hotline.
Call Shiawassee Health & Wellness at (989) 723-6791 or (800) 622-4514.
Talk to a friend, family member, counselor, or religious leader.
Visit your family doctor. They can tell you about counseling options or medication.
Dial 911 for emergency assistance.
If your friend has a suicide plan, do not leave him or her alone. Get help from professionals. Alert important adults in your friend’s life – family, friends, clergy. Do so even if your friend asks you not to tell anyone.
Suicide is Forever
Suicide is never the answer to a problem. It is hard to see alternatives when you are in crisis, but they do exist.
Most people who consider suicide do not want to die. They want their pain to go away. Pain can be helped in other ways.
Life’s painful times do not last forever, even if it feels like they will.
You do not need to be ashamed of having suicidal thoughts. Help is available. You are not alone.
A member of our team is available by telephone 24 hours a day/7 days a week. If you or someone that you know is in danger of harming themselves or others, call 911 immediately.
