JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas - If you know someone who is struggling with thoughts of suicide or self-harm, take action. Use the acronym, ACE: Ask, Care, Escort. First, you should ask how they are doing and if they are thinking of hurting themselves. Second, you should care for your friend by remaining calm, being a good listener, and removing any objects that they could use to hurt themselves. Finally, you escort the person to get professional help. You can call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline as well. Never leave a hurting person alone.
