Where can i go for suicide prevention? ?

Question

My friend has confided in me that she feels if she doesn't go somewhere soon, shes may commit suicide. I'm obviously concerned and trying to help her find somewhere to go. . i live in north eastern ohio.. can anyone give me a place, other than the psych ward(( someone i know has been there and its a joke )) that she can go. Please be serious. This is a serious matter to me, dont make fun of it.

Answer 1

I would suggest you get help for your friend.  Have her stay with you or go stay with her...make sure she is safe.  If you think she needs to be in a hospital call 911 or go to the ER...and request a different hospital then the one you said was a joke.

Answer 2

Call your local police department and tell them what you have told us.  See what they recommend.  They know and have resources your friend can use.  They can also get her emergency help.

Answer 3

1-800-SUICIDE

or

1-800-273-TALK

and maybe find a good therapist as well...and if she ever confides in u saying that she is going to do it and has a plan....even if u don't want to u need to tell someone...and if ur not with her call the police and they will take her to the hospital for an evaluation...

Answer 4

If you are turning down the hospital, I would suggest she go to someones house. Someone who could watch her and distract her, cheer her up a bit. Or maybe a different psych ward--they can all be the same. Or maybe she could see a counselor.

Answer 5

call 911..
