Where to go to stop suicide

If you or someone you know has thoughts of suicide, there are places you can go to for help. One place you can call is the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. They help people who call asking for help preventing a suicide and also help people that want help with mental health. They have more than 130 centers all over the country and callers are sent to the nearest center in the area they are in. Their number is 1-800-273-TALK(8255).

Another place to ask for help is the Suicide Awareness Voices of Education or SAVE. For 20 years they have gathered volunteers to help people realize that suicide is wrong. They teach people about what suicide is and get people to realize that it shouldn't be kept a secret. They also work with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
