Hi 👋🏾

I'm someone who regularly experiences ideation.

I would really appreciate it if these suicide prevention efforts were also funneled towards providing houses, combating bigotry, advocating for livable finances, abolisting police/institutions, investing in real mutual aid..
This list continues of course.
How about these hotlines also help to connect folk to services that address the baseline issues to the persons strhggle. Like, including services that involve no pay.

This whole treating the symptoms without geeting to the root mess will never be sustainable, & is ableist af.
And, dammit, how about we actually have accessible options for folk who can't talk over the phone for whatever various reason?!
Can they at the very least connect folk to any of the many existing & growing peer & mutual aid things?
