Important Resources and Information for Suicide Prevention

Read and keep this comprehensive list for suicide intervention and prevention, as well as resources for those suffering from mental health issues. Access to care is preventative. As with all of my posts, this will reside on my website for quick and future reference. These resources offer support, assessment and intervention.

*If you or anyone you know is in imminent risk of suicide call 911 or go immediately to your nearest emergency room. Once there, you will be assessed and treated by medical and/or psychiatric professionals.
