TitleA Cry for Help: How to help a friend who is depressed or suicidal
AuthorSue Eastgard, MSW
NotesMost suicidal young people don't really want to die; they just want their pain to end. Teen suicide is often preventable if people know the signs to look for and the steps to take when they suspect a friend is suicidal. A Cry for Help teaches young people to recognize the warning signs and to take specific actions to help a friend.

Topics include:

  • understanding depression and its connection with suicide
  • recognizing verbal, behavioral, and situational signs that show a friend is suicidal
  • intervention skills for helping a suicidal young person
  • do's and don'ts when reaching out to a suicidal friend
Includes booklet with resources for suicide prevention.
