Last year in the US, the company updated this information to display the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, a network of state and local call centers from the US Department of Health. But this isn't the first time Google has made an attempt to help individuals thinking of suicide.įor several years, suicide prevention information has been available at the top of relevant search results. The pre-written messages were developed by Google in partnership with the International Association for Suicide Prevention. The person could choose the message that best expresses their feelings and thoughts and then text it directly to a loved one, who hopefully will be able to intervene and provide aid and comfort to that person. "I don't want to die but I don't know how to live."This is really hard for me to say but I'm having painful thoughts and it might help to talk."I'm struggling right now and just need to talk to someone-can we chat?".
