    It's OK to Say Suicide. 

    If you’re scared to say the word suicide—either because you’re thinking about it, you’re worried someone you know might be considering it, or, you just don’t know how to talk about it—The JED Foundation wants you to know it’s OK to say it. Being able to talk openly about suicide opens the door for people to get help. The JED Foundation is here to not only tell you it’s OK to say suicide, they're here to show you how.
