Attempted suicide. Received a visit. Then received a phone call offering a point of contact as a resource, and then promising a follow-up call. 4 days later, the call didn't happen. I've been promised 3 separate followups, none of which have happened. I can appreciate that this is a volunteer service, but don't make promises to someone who's ready to end their life if you aren't able to fulfill them. I am fortunate that I have partners who are helping and I have discovered a support system, but others may not be so fortunate. Mental health is no joke, take it seriously. If there is someone in your life that you are concerned about, please talk to them. Reassure them that you will listen and not judge or get upset. Thanks Hux. I hope that your future interactions with folks that are in crisis have a more positive outcome
