[Death + Intent + Experience]
Your first priority is to determine if the situation is critical or high risk.
There are three areas where if the answer is YES to any of these questions, the person might be in a dangerous place.
Death
Have you been contemplating death?
Are you thinking about suicide?
Tell me about it.
What do you mean that you
wish it were all over?
Intent
Do you have a plan?
How would you carry out this plan?
Why would you take your life?
Experience
Have you attempted before?
How did you cope with it then?
Who would miss you?
If the answer is YES to any of these questions, get help!

Regardless the risk . . . TALK to the person.
The longer you talk to them, the less likely they are to complete the suicide.
Our purpose as an

- train coaches (and others) in the knowledge of immediate and long-term support when confronted with a suicide attempt;
- understand when a person is moving towards dysfunctional behavior and recognize the warning signs in advance;
- direct anyone that accesses CSA social media and/or website that is suicidal to the quickest and best referral source;
- create awareness in the coaching community about suicide intervention resources;
- provide networking, information, and resources for suicide intervention training for the coaching community (e.g life, leadership, wellness coaching, etc.);
