If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room (ER). Additional resources are also provided for different purposes. It’s always possible that the numbers and web addresses will be changed over time, so if the one you are trying to use is no longer valid, please do not give up. Reach out through another avenue or to another resource, a friend, the ER, or call 911. You are too important not to do so.
