Suicide myths and misconceptions hinder both the support teams and persons that need the support. Although our numbers are much higher than any of us would like, as in ZERO Suicides, we can't get there without dispelling some of the stigmas that come along with them. Remember that asking for help is a difficult step and one that takes a lot of courage and dedication, but so worth the effort for yourself and those around you. Remember that you have a team here to help shoulder some of that effort. Here are the websites discussed in the episode. If you or someone you know may be considering suicide, contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or the Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741741.
