What You Can Ask
Most suicide attempts occur outside business hours. Medical research shows that connections with multiple friends and family members protect someone having suicidal thoughts and depression.

What You Can Say
The suicidal person feels hopeless, a burden, not understood, alone, worthless, and feels that the pain will never stop. Frequent texts from lots of friends and family members can help fight these thoughts.
What You Can Do
If a friend is suicidal, professional help is vital, especially if the ideas are significant. A team of friends and family together can help protect the suicidal person with these messages, creating a safety-blanket until professional help is available. Save a life... Send a text.
Connecting Until Recovery
Ongoing frequent support from multiple friends and family over weeks, not just days, is incredibly protective. Suicidal ideas usually take time to build up, and time to go away.
