After your initial contact with a person experiencing thoughts of su***de, and after you’ve connected them with the immediate support systems they need, make sure to follow-up with them to see how they’re doing. Leave a message, send a text, or give them a call. The follow-up can continue to increase their feelings of connectedness and share your ongoing support.

help someone with thoughts of su***de connect with ongoing supports (like the ) and establish a safety net for those moments they find themselves in a crisis.

One way to start helping them find ways to connect is to work with them to develop a safety plan. This can include ways for them identify if they start to experience significant, severe thoughts of su***de along with what to do in those crisis moments. A safety plan can also include a list of individuals to contact when a crisis occurs.
