This Web site is designed to assist you in locating information and resources about suicide prevention.
Specifically, this Web site was developed for locating situation specific suicide prevention resources in a quick and effective way. This is also known as offering “tailored” information. Access to tailored information is available by:
The word “intermediary” or "helping role" is used to describe the person who is concerned about someone who might be suicidal. Intermediaries or helpers, are people from all walks of life ranging from the parent of a child who is at risk for suicide, to a psychiatrist offering mental health services.
It is our belief that while some information about suicide prevention is broad and general, knowing what to look for within the context of your relationship with the person who is at risk for suicide will help you to make better choices for what to do to help. Because of that belief, you will notice that resources are organized not only using their broad meaning, but are also arranged and written around “specific intermediary” roles. There are naturally some overlaps in the information, but where possible, information is situation and role specific. |
