If your loved one is in danger...

If someone you love is in danger to themselves or others, call 911. Ask for a “Crisis Intervention Team Trained Officer”

If you are a young person who is struggling or has a friend who is talking about hurting themselves or committing suicide, please seek the help of a trusted adult immediately. It could be your parent, your friend’s parent, a coach, a teacher, a school counselor, the school nurse, a resource officer – ANYONE who is in the position to be sure that you or your friend are SAFE and get the help they need to stay safe.
