Keep this Number Handy

It could be a loved one or a stranger. It doesn’t matter. A life is a life. You may find yourself in the presence of someone who has given up to the point that they’ve decided death is their only option. When that happens, be prepared. You probably have your cell phone with you, so use it. Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255). Or text 988. People at the other end are empathetic and trained to talk to people thinking about suicide. Keep these numbers handy, in your cell phone. You could save a life.
