Suicide Prevention Hotline - Dial 988

We can all help prevent suicide. The Lifeline provides 24/7, free and confidential support for people in distress, prevention and crisis resources for you or your loved ones, and best practices for professionals.

SAFE UT APP

Suicide affects every family and every community. Thanks to a smartphone app, help is available 24/7 for young people, their parents, guardians, and others who experience depression, anxiety, loss, grief, bullying/cyberbullying, self-harming behaviors, suicidal thoughts, or drug or alcohol problems.

SafeUT answers crisis calls, texts, and chats—from the young person reaching out or from others. It provides free real-time crisis intervention for people in need.

We encourage parents to help their youth download the SafeUT app and talk to them about the importance of reaching out if they’re worried about someone they know.

Some of the warning signs for someone dealing with suicidal thoughts include:

• Hopeless/helpless thoughts
• Social isolation
• Talk of being a burden on others—how others would be better off without them
• Giving away prized possessions
