Title
Suicide Support: The Samaritans of Fall River and New Bedford provides confidential emotional support to any person who is lonely, depressed, or suicidal.
Description
Many lives are affected by suicide. The American Association of Suicidology estimates up to 6 people are personally touched by the suicide of one person.
Suicide is not about wanting to die, but about a powerful need for pain to end. All types of people die by suicide: men and women, rich and poor, old and young, straight and gay, rural and urban. What suicidal people share are feelings of hopelessness, helplessness and isolation, a desire for a solution to their problems, and deep uncertainties about living and dying. The more you know about suicide, the better you will be able to help someone struggling with these issues.
Almost every person who feels suicidal is unsure about wanting to live or die. Often, with time and the concern and intervention of others, suicidal feelings pass. Suicide is a permanent solution to what is most likely a temporary problem.
