Growing Wellness: Responding to Someone with Thoughts of Suicide

MOSES Organic Farming Podcast

Chris Frakes discusses steps to take if you encounter someone who is struggling with thoughts of suicide. It is important to note that this is not a full suicide awareness and intervention training. However, it provides the basic steps for effective listening, providing support, and connecting someone in crisis to other appropriate resources so they can receive needed support.

Chris Frakes is the Project Coordinator for the Farmer Well-Being and Suicide Prevention Program with Southwestern Wisconsin Community Action Program. Get in touch with Chris: [e-mail] or 608-553-0033.

Immediate assistance: call 1-800-273-8255 (TALK), contact your local crisis hotline, or dial 911.
