Supporting someone else?
If you're worried about a friend or family member, you don't have to handle it alone either. These steps help:
- Ask directly and calmly how they're doing
- Listen without trying to fix or minimize
- Take any mention of self-harm seriously
- Stay with them and help them reach a crisis line
- Remove access to means of harm where possible
You can also call a crisis line on their behalf for guidance on how to help.
When the crisis passes, care continues
Crisis lines are for the hardest moments. For ongoing support, our clinicians are here — and reaching out is never too early or too small a reason.
