If you have suicidal thoughts

If you think you may hurt yourself or attempt suicide, get help right now:

• Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.

• Contact a minister, spiritual leader or someone in your faith community.
• Consider joining a men's health group that deals with depression.
• Call a suicide crisis center hotline.
• Make an appointment with your doctor, other primary care provider or mental health professional.
