Do you know someone who wishes they were dead, or who may be thinking about ending their life? Do you want to help them but you don’t know what to say? Are you afraid of saying the wrong thing? Prevent A Suicide: What To Say is the app for you. It helps you send messages that can make a difference and save a life. It is much easier to communicate by text when dealing with a difficult topic such as suicide.
Just tapping on a message in the app transfers that text to iMessage or WhatsApp (if installed on iPhone), ready to send or modify before sending. Drawing on lived experience from people who have been there, and medically approved, Prevent A Suicide: What To Say is an app designed to help you communicate with someone who may be at risk of suicide. It is based on the website https://preventasuicide.org which provides evidence-based guidance and support from survivors, supporters and experts in suicide prevention.
This app helps you find the words to send messages around the following themes:
• What you can ask
• What you can say
• What you can do
• Get help when it’s critical
• Support for you
All our messages are medically approved and peer supported texts that you can send, and edit if you wish, to suit your situation.
Prevent A Suicide is user-friendly, simple and intuitive to use. The app is privacy focused and does not collect or store any personal information and there is no sign-up process. Just download the app for free and you’re ready to use it.
Prevent A Suicide is more than just an app. It is a way to show someone that you care, that you understand, and that you are there for them. It is a way to prevent a suicide by sending a message, saving a life. The app is proudly created by the Australian Suicide Prevention Foundation, which is a government registered charity. We aim to reduce thoughts of suicide, attempted suicide and deaths from suicide in Australia and around the world.
