If you’re thinking about suicide, are worried about a friend or loved one, or would like emotional support, there is help. Depression, sudden life changes, loss, and difficult circumstances or imbalances in the brain can bring about suicidal thoughts. When we are overwhelmed by a difficult situation, we can lose hope. Without hope, we might mistakenly feel like suicide is the only solution. It isn’t. In the middle of crisis, it can be difficult to see a way out. Compassionate people are waiting to talk to you and ready to help. They understand suicidal feelings and thoughts and know there is hope for you. There is a way through this difficult season. We want to show you the path toward hope, healing, and life.
