- Ask: Are you thinking about suicide? How do you hurt? How can I help?
- Be there: In person or on the phone. Show support. Listen. Keep promises to connect.
- Help keep them safe: if the person in crisis is suicidal, details matter; do they have a plan, or ideas about timing or method? You can call 988 to support their crisis care.
- Help them connect: When someone is in crisis, connecting them with ongoing supports can help establish a safety net. Remind them they can call, text, or chat 988 to connect with a trained crisis counselor 24/7.
- Follow up: After the immediate crisis is over, check in. That text or call afterwards makes a real difference.
