THREE WAYS TO HELP.
You don't have to be an expert. Small actions can help someone find support before a crisis.
Pass it on.
Send the song, hotline, or this page to a friend. Help more people know that support exists.
Don't keep it in.
If you notice warning signs—or feel them yourself—tell someone you trust or call 605-NO-SHOOT.
Listen & share
“I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN HELP.”
Play the song all the way to the end—the final message is the part we most want every student to hear. Then share it with someone who may need it, and help make asking for help a sign of strength.
