suicide intervention

Quick note that calling the cops is a really terrible move when trying to help people at their lowest moments. Not only does it do nothing to address the core issue of why it is they feel that way, the additional stress of talking to the cops and then being forced into an environment where you have no freedom or connection to the outside world (a psych ward) is a very traumatic experience in its own right for people. thus, these resources do not involve the police/"crisis intervention" people, or psychiatric institutions. instead, the best approach when someone is suicidal (especially when that someone is you) is having an open ear to listen to you who gets it and treats you like a human being.
