Recent Changes

Over the course of 30 years of hotline experience and 20 years of school-based suicide prevention programming, there has never been a case of planting the idea of committing suicide. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has clearly stated this"There is no evidence of increased suicide ideation or behavior among program participants." "Furthermore, numerous research and intervention efforts have been completed without any reports of harm."
There have been several evaluations of school-based programs that show increased likelihood that program participants will tell an adult about a suicidal peer or will report suicidal thoughts as compared with controls

Talking about suicide will not plant the idea in teen's heads because they are already well aware of suicide from their experiences with suicidal peers and from things they have been exposed to in the media.
