Thinking about Suicide

If you or someone you know is having suicidal thoughts, please reach out for help!

Talk to a person that you trust.

• Is there a friend or relative you can talk to?
• Do you have a counselor you can contact?
• Is there another person in your life that can talk to you (teacher or coach)?
