Survey: Has Yahoo Ever Sent You An Email Telling You Not To Commit Suicide?


I just received this…
Hello,
We are writing to let you know that Yahoo! takes our users’ welfare and
the issue of suicide very seriously. We do not monitor our message
boards, but sometimes messages are brought to our attention where
suicide is being discussed. As a third party, it is always difficult for
us to assess what individuals using our service may really be thinking
or feeling, and we are not in a position to provide specific medical
referrals or other kinds of assistance. However, we urge you to enlist
help if suicide is a subject that is being seriously considered. If you
believe that you or someone you know is in immediate danger, please
contact the nearest emergency room, or call 911 for assistance.
In addition to local numbers found on the inside cover of your local
phone book, you also may want to contact one of these organizations:
* The National “YOUTH” Crisis Helpline:
1-800-999-9999
* The National Crisis Helpline:
1-800-784-2433
* The National Resource Center for Suicide Prevention and Aftercare:
1-404-256-9797
* The National Mental Health Association (330 affiliates nationwide
providing treatment referrals & services):
1-800-969-NMHA (6642)
* The Suicide Information & Education Center:
1-403-245-3900
* The National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (information and referral
services):
1-800-950-6264
