Aiken-Barnwell Suicide Prevention Coalition

Mission Statement: Aiken-Barnwell Suicide Prevention Coalition is committed to preventing suicide through community education and collaboration.

Helping Someone Who Is Suicidal

Most people who complete suicide don’t want to die – they just want to stop hurting. They may not ask for help, but that doesn’t mean that help isn’t wanted. Suicide prevention starts with recognizing the warning signs and taking them seriously. Don’t be afraid to bring up the subject if you think a friend or family member is considering suicide. Talking openly about suicidal thoughts and feelings can save a life.
