​Recognize the Warning Signs of Suicide
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people between 10 to 24. Sometimes their struggle can be underestimated because of their age. But it is critical to listen, take them seriously, and reach out for help.

Buddy Project™ is a non-profit movement that aims to prevent suicide and self-harm by pairing people as buddies and raising awareness for mental health. We will primarily focus on children, teens, and young adults across the globe by providing positivity, companionship, resources, and education, in order to reduce the stigma of mental illness, bullying and negativity on social media. By introducing these concepts at an early age, we hope to promote empathy, compassion, and awareness of mental health issues.

Guidance for Parents and Care Givers Worried About Their Child

Take your loved one seriously: Some people feel that kids who say they are going to hurt or kill themselves are “just doing it for attention.” But if your child,  friend, or family member confides thoughts of suicide, believe them and get help.

Guidance for Youth Worried About a Friend​

Don’t keep suicide a secret: If your friend is considering suicide, don’t promise to keep it a secret. Tell him or her you can help, but you need to involve other people, like a trusted adult. Neither of you have to face this alone.

Suicide Prevention Strategy: Know your QPR 

Three simple steps anyone can learn to help save a life from suicide
Picture

​Question
 the person about suicide. Do they have thoughts? Feelings? Plans? Don't be afraid to ask.

Persuade the person to get help. Listen carefully, then say, "Let me help." Or, "Come with me to find help."

Refer for help: If a child or adolescent, contact any adult, any parent. Or, your teacher, school counselor, coach, or religious leader. Or, call the hotline at the top of this page.


To save a life...
  • Realize someone might be suicidal.
  • Reach out. Asking the suicide question DOES NOT increase risk.
  • Listen: talking things out can save a life.
  • Don't try to do everything yourself. Get others involved.
  • Don't promote secrecy. Know that reaching out does not mean you're disloyal. 
  • If persuasion fails, call your mental health center, a hotline, or emergency services.
  • If you believe someone is in the process of making a suicide attempt, call 911
