A place to start is to print out this Survey Form. When you can commit a minimum of a half an hour up to as much as three and a half hours, at your earliest convenience, that could possibly save a friends life, follow this process. Find a place where you won't be interrupted by others, the phone, text messages, etc. Preferably a quiet place. Take a few moments to breathe and relax before you start. Get a stop watch. Have a box of facial tissues handy. The Process Have you every seriously considered suicide? Have you ever actually attempted suicide? Have you lost someone important to you to suicide?
