You don't have to carry it alone

If you're thinking about ending your life, or you're not safe right now, reach out now. Talking to someone works, and it's free.

If a brother is struggling

• • Ask him straight: “Are you thinking about killing yourself?” Asking doesn't put the idea there. It opens the door.
• • Listen more than you talk. Don't argue with how he feels.
• • Stay with him, or stay on the phone, and call or text 988 together.
• • If he's in danger right now, call 911.

STOWYK is a community, not a counseling or emergency service. Brothers help each other, and professionals save lives. Use both.
