In partnership with the National Alliance for Suicide Prevention, Facebook announced a new service that harnesses the power of social networking and crisis support to help prevent suicides across the nation. The new service enables Facebook users to report a suicidal comment they see posted by a friend on Facebook using a report link found on the site.
The person who posted the suicidal comment will then immediately receive an email from Facebook, encouraging them to call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1.800.237.TALK (8255) or click on a link to begin a confidential chat session with a crisis worker.
