What if I or someone I know is in crisis?

If you are thinking about harming yourself, or know someone who is, tell someone who can help immediately:

• Call your doctor.
   
• Call 911 or go to a hospital emergency room to get immediate help, or ask a friend or family member to help you do these things.

• Make sure you or the suicidal person is not left alone.

• Call the toll-free, 24-hour hotline of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline.
