More than anything, you deserve to know this—you are not alone. We hope these stories find you like a friend, or a bit of light in the darkness.
Suicide, or intentionally taking one’s life, is complex; it involves psychological, social, biological, cultural, and environmental factors. People who are suicidal may talk a lot about death, withdraw from friends, give away prized possessions, become more reckless and impulsive, or express hopelessness.
Suicide is preventable. Talking about it does not cause someone to become suicidal, but rather, could actually save their life.1
American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) is dedicated to understanding and preventing suicide through research, education, and advocacy and to reaching out to people with mental disorders and those impacted by suicide.
The Jed Foundation works nationally to reduce the rate of suicide and the prevalence of emotional distress among college and university students.
The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and questioning youth.
Suicide Prevention Initiatives (SPI) develops, implements, and funds suicide prevention projects across the world, deciding what projects are most likely to prevent suicide and creating a team to see the projects through.
