Most people thinking of suicide do not want their lives to end, they want the pain to stop, therefore....

Most people thinking about suicide let others know, consciously or unconsciously. 

Therefore if we knew the signs and how to respond...

Suicide has to be one of the most preventable deaths.

Talking or even listening to somebody talk about suicide can be scary, and sadly many folk think that asking a person if they’re thinking about suicide it may plant the idea in their head, this is a myth.
