| Introduction | ||
|
Knowing what to do to help a youth at risk for suicide can be difficult. Each situation is different, but sometimes even what seems to be a small gesture can make a difference.
Here is how one teacher made a difference:
“He was absent from school for a week and a half. So I talked to attendance and called his home. I got the answering machine but I left a message anyway. 'Hey, I hope you didn't run off and get married,' I said just to kid him. The next day, this student showed up at school. And he thanked me for caring enough to call."
