Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among people aged 15-24 nationwide.
988 Crisis Line's #BeThe1To:
- ASK. Research shows people who are having thoughts of suicide feel relief when someone asks after them in a caring way
- BE THERE. Individuals are more likely to feel less depressed, less suicidal, less overwhelmed, and more hopeful after speaking to someone who listens without judgment
- KEEP THEM SAFE. Several studies have indicated that when lethal means are made less available or less deadly, suicide rates by that method decline, and frequently suicide rates overall decline
- HELP THEM STAY CONNECTED. Studies indicate that helping someone at risk create a network of resources and individuals for support and safety can help them take positive action and reduce feelings of hopelessness
- FOLLOW UP. Studies have also shown that brief, low-cost intervention and supportive, ongoing contact may be an important part of suicide prevention, especially for individuals after they have been discharged from hospitals or care services
If you or someone you love is struggling, dial 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Call, text, and chat 24/7.
