   According to their suicide risk they may need to:
   1. take care of themselves
   2. go to their family/friends
   3. go to a hospital and be on 24 hour watch
3. Meet with clinician
   to assess mental health/suicide risk
4. Stay sober
   if there are alcohol or drug use issues

Pursue Wellness

1. Meet with a counsellor to:
   • talk out feelings
   • learn to fight suicide self-talk
