Suicide Prevention
If the above graphic is alarming to you its presence is a reminder
of the reality of suicide. Take afew minutes to reflect on the above
graphic and think what could cause someone to take their own life.
Also concider this what can you and I do to prevent others from taking
the same action.
First of all
I want to tell everyone that someone that is suicidal is looking for help
or has run out of hope. If you see someone in this situation do what
you would do if it were a member of your family or a very close friend
and try to help. Don't put that person down like I have seen so many
people do and don't think that the person isn't serious always take this
subject serious.
Sometimes
all that is needed is a gentle, caring, and trusting person that they can
talk to without feeling like they are being judged. First of all
get them calmed down and talking see if you can help if you can't know
when and how to get help for that person. Its easy to find out where
the nearest Suicide Hotline is for your area and it may save someone close
to you.
Also there
are alot of places on the internet that have phone #'s of places that offer
help some of them are free of charge. Within the next few days I
shall add a small list of homepages that offer such services so that you
can look at them also I shall add the warning signs of someone that is
at risk for committing Suicide.
Thanks for viewing this site
and I shall update it often please stop by and checkout what I have added.
Remember knowledge is power and this knowledge is the power to possibly
saving someone's life.
