Suicide

“But in the end one needs more courage to live than to kill himself.” – Albert Camus

       Working with a suicidal user can be a difficult experience. If you find yourself needing emotional support after a chat, you can connect with a member of the Peer Support team. You can find them in listener chat rooms by their "Peer Support" badge, or by reading bios in the browse listeners section.
