1. Don't report on the method of suicide.
2. Provide resources.
3. Treat suicide as a public health issue.

You are more than your anxious thoughts.
You are more than your obsessive thoughts.
You are more than your compulsive thoughts.
You are more than your manic thoughts.
You are more than your depressed thoughts.
You are you. And that's more than enough.
