ALT Graphic with an image of open hands with a heart between them, and text that reads, there is hope; the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline logo; and a list of steps to help someone in crisis. Details of the graphic are: Do you know someone in crisis? You can be a lifeline and help support them. Here are five steps you can take that are known to help: Ask: Are you thinking about suicide? How do you hurt? How can I help? Be there: In person or on the phone. Show support. Listen. Keep promises to connect. Help keep them safe: if the person in crisis is suicidal, details matter; do they have a plan, or ideas about timing or method? You can call 988 to support their crisis care. Help them connect: When someone is in crisis, connecting them with ongoing supports can help establish a safety net. Remind them they can call, text, or chat 988 to connect with a trained crisis counselor 24/7. Follow up: After the immediate crisis is over, check in. That text or call afterwards makes a real difference.
