Suggestion about suicide prevention
#13
RE: Suggestion about suicide prevention
I'm all for suicide prevention, but the reality is that there is very little we can do if a person here threatens to kill themselves. Like I said in the other thread, even if a person puts up all of their personal information, the authorities in most places are going to be extremely hesitant to get invovled over something like an internet post unless it has direct and specific threats of harm.

The truth is that there is very little we here can do to help a person like that beyond lending a sympathetic ear.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
