Suicide Prevention

Individuals considering suicide are struggling with a number of personal problems for which they see no solution. Most people who are suicidal truly do not want to die; they simply want their emotional distress to go away and feel unable to resolve their dilemma.

Persons who are suicidal often feel:

• HELPLESS – they feel powerless and unable to change their situation.
• HOPELESS – they believe their problems and feelings of despair will never go away.
• ISOLATED – they feel alone in their plan and believe no on is able to understand.
