Is it someone you know?
Remember, you’re never alone. TENI are here to help you and provide you with the information you need when you need it. In a crisis (when someone might harm themselves, harm someone else, or is vulnerable to self-harm or suicide) it is important to get help as quickly as you can for yourself or the person you are concerned.
