🗣 CHECK ON YOUR PEOPLE! Suicidal ideation is REAL. I’m not speaking as a mental health advocate right now, I’m speaking as a person who attempted suicide in 2018. 🥹
“A woman was saved Saturday afternoon after climbing onto the I-96 overpass and moving toward the middle of the freeway.
A Detroit police Sgt. quickly reached her and grabbed her through the fence. Officers kept talking with her until Detroit Fire Department crews arrived with a ladder truck. Firefighters were then able to bring her down safely. The woman was experiencing a mental health crisis at the time.
If you or a loved one is in distress, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988 or 1-800-273-8255, or text 741-741. Support is free, confidential, and available 24/7 for civilians and veterans. Locally, you can also call the Detroit Wayne Integrated Health Network (DWIHN) Helpline at 800-241-4949. (They come to you.)”
