Contacts Of An Emergency Room, A Physician, Or A
Mental Health Professional
If you have a family member or a friend who has
suicidal tendencies, do not leave them alone.
Try to get the person to get help from an
emergency room, a physician, or mental health
professional. Do not take off-handed comments
about suicide lightly. Even if you believe that
the said person might not actually commit
suicide, they might surely benefit from proper
professional help.

Suicide Hotline Numbers
Another important part of any suicide prevention
toolkit is a list of suicide hotline numbers. If
you know a family member or friend who might have
suicidal tendencies, encourage them to call a
suicide hotline number. In America, anyone who
needs help can text or call 988 to reach the 988
suicide and crisis helpline. The helpline is
available 247. Additionally, one can also use
the Lifeline chat. The services provided by these
helplines are free and confidential. US service
members or veterans who are in crisis can call
the 988 suicide and crisis helpline and press 1
to reach the veteran crisis helpline.
Additionally, they can also chat online or text
at 838255. The suicide and crisis helpline also
has a toll-free Spanish language line at 1-
888-628-9454.
