For friends

Worried about a friend?

You do not need perfect words. Use the Three Rs.

  1. Recognize

    Watch for changes in mood, sleep, grades, or friendships, or talk about feeling hopeless or like a burden.

  2. Reach

    Ask how they are really doing, then listen. Asking directly about suicide does not put the idea in their head. It opens the door.

  3. Refer

    Bring in a trusted adult today. If it feels urgent, call or text 988 together.

You do not have to carry it alone.

For parents and schools

  • Parents and guardians

    Keep the conversation open and calm. Ask, listen, and stay close. Your child's school counselor and doctor are good next calls.

  • Educators

    Know your school's referral process and who to call. To bring trained peer support to your campus, start an INTRNL FIGHT club.
