Information
about resources is also organized according to the specific
role that a concerned person plays in preventing suicide.
For example, teachers want to view the types of resources
that match the crisis situations that they may face with
their students.
Using
another example, parents may want to access information
that specifically addresses their questions about their child.
By selecting
one of the helping role categories, such as parent,
in the, “Find more information as a(n)”
drop-down box, you are linked to a page that has specific suicide
prevention information aimed at helping parents.
