Make A Suicide Safety Plan
A suicide safety plan includes a list of sources of support and coping strategies to help you when and if you are having thoughts of suicide or feel suicidal. You can write your own safety plan or use a free phone app. But it’s best to work with a therapist to make your plan.
End Native Overdose is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 99-4332473). Our mission is to end drug-related overdose deaths among American Indian and Alaskan Native adolescents through education and public awareness.
