Taken from the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP): AFSP, as part of the National Council for Suicide Prevention, is spreading the word about World Suicide Prevention Day Sept. 10 and Take 5 to Save Lives, a new public awareness and education campaign that encourages everyone to take five minutes to help prevent suicide.

By taking five minutes to get involved and become informed, you will be part of a national movement to save lives. The campaign asks supporters to take five steps:

• Learn the warning signs for suicide
• Join the online movement to prevent suicide
• Spread the word
• Support a friend
• Reach out if you need help

AFSP is encouraging everyone to use their social media channels to spread the word about World Suicide Prevention Day and lend their support. For more information, go to Take5ToSaveLives.org.
