Safe Messaging
Here at the PSHTF, we believe in the importance of sharing stories to raise awareness on the issue of suicide prevention. In the same breath, it is important to share our stories in a manner that is safe for those who may be at risk for suicide. The following are resources open to all audiences, but are especially recommended for groups/organizations developing and implementing suicide prevention campaigns and activities.
