Media Collaboration

Friends for Life URGES the media to learn more about its project, particularly what is happening in Montgomery County relating to Suicide and Mental Health.

When reporting on suicides, we ASK the Media to:

• Include warning signs, resources;
• Avoid graphic details, locations, and descriptions; 
  
• Include in articles, information on prevention and community resources

Friends for Life also suggests the media consider these story ideas:

• Trends in suicide rates;
• Recent treatment advances;
• Individual stories of how treatment was life saving;
• Stories of people who overcame despair without attempting suicide;
• Myths about suicide;
• Warning signs about suicide;
• Actions that individuals can take to prevent suicide by others.
