Facebook Offers Tool To Help Prevent Suicide

September is Suicide Prevention Month, and Facebook is sharing a new infographic and a site-wide public service announcement to help users find the resources they need when a friend makes troubling posts on the social network.


If you see worrying posts from a friend, you can either click "report" on the post itself or search "suicide" in the search bar or Facebook Help Center. This provides you with a list of resources and a suggested message you can send your friend. You'll also have the option to report the post directly to Facebook, which triggers a read-to-proceed message on your friend's Facebook with resource information. Have a look at Facebook's blog posts about suicide prevention here and here.

Please people share this.
