# List of No-Calling-Police-On-You Crisis Lines
For many people in crisis, having emergency services called on them can be a reason for them to not get help. Therefore, I maintain this list of crisis lines that do not call emergency services on it's callers.These services are verified via direct contact or information presented on their website.This list is incomplete. Please send more hotlines that do not call emergency services on you to me at [email protected]!
# Environmental Safety
Adapted from Suicide Safety: Precautions at Home by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, 2020.
Research shows that having a gun or weapon in the home increases the risk of dying by suicide.
Guns should be stored unloaded in a locked safe. Bullets should be also locked, but in a separate place.
Gun safe keys or combination to the lock should be kept by someone else.
Consider purchasing trigger locks for guns.
When visiting others' homes, ask about gun ownership and storage.
Lock away knives, razor blades, and other sharp objects.
Someone not at risk should be in charge of the medications.
Keep all medications, both prescribed and non-prescribed (over the counter), in a locked box.
Someone else should hand out and control all prescribed and over the counter medications.
Keep track of all bottles of medication as well as the number of pills in each container, including those prescribed as over the counter medications (such as pain relief, allergy pills, vitamins, and supplements, etc) for every person and any pets in the home.
Dispose of all expired and no longer used prescribed medications by bringing them to your local pharmacy or fire station.
Ask others' about how their medications are stored in their home before visiting.
Other items can be used for self-harm and suicide.
Keep your vehicle keys with someone else or consider locking them in a lock box when not in use.
Lock all toxic household cleaners, pesticides, and industrial chemicals away.
Consider limiting ropes, electrical wire, and long cords within the home or lock them away.
Secure and lock high level windows and access to rooftops.
Avoid:
Researching methods of suicide
Purchasing of any materials or items that could be used for self-harm
Spending time in chatrooms or social media sites dedicated to encouraging self-harm or suicide
