How Facebook Prevents Suicide

Uncategorized Aug 06, 2018

This is not new but at least worthy of being known.

Based on the assumption of experts saying... that one of the best ways to prevent suicide is for those in distress to hear from people who care about them. 

Facebook is in a unique position — through friendships on the site — to help connect a person in distress with people who can support them.

Which is the practical side of all this?

Facebook updated the tools and resources to offer to people who may be thinking of suicide, as well as the support to their concerned friends and family members:

  • Integrated suicide prevention tools to help people in real time on Facebook Live
  • Live chat support from crisis support organizations through Messenger
  • Streamlined reporting for suicide, assisted by artificial intelligence

Suicide prevention tools have been available on Facebook for more than 10 years and were developed in collaboration with mental health organizations such as Save.org
