Suicide is Preventable
Every day in California friends, family, and coworkers struggle with emotional pain. And, for some, it's too difficult to talk about the pain, thoughts of suicide, and the need for help. Though the warning signs can be subtle, they are there. By recognizing these signs, knowing how to start a conversation, and where to turn for help, you have the power to make a difference – the power to save a life.
