> In summary, “reach out for help” or “find someone to talk to,” etc is secular thoughts and prayers. This is not suicide prevention. It is suicide delay.

> Suicide prevention is access to food, homes, medication, education, transportation, and more. Without material and community support, people will die. That’s just the way it is. The sooner we act on that, the better. But the hotline expanded while social welfare is at a crisis level is insult to injury.
