REsources
As with any resource list, the challenge is to keep it current and comprehensive. To achieve that outcome, we will need your help. And so that we are all on the same page, the resources noted here are to support the family & friends impacted by the suicidal crisis of a loved one. That can range from the constant struggle with suicidal thinking to non-suicidal self-injury to suicide attempts. Resources should reflect self-care options for ourselves.
As we gather more resources, we will organize them into sections to expedite your efforts.
We are not able to respond to an immediate crisis. If you or your loved one are in immediate crisis, there are some options included on this page.
