A crisis intervention means to call 988 right now. Act before you do something that is life threatening. Making this call means everything and those working with you are focused on getting you to safety and the help you desperately need.  We get it when you say you failed and couldn’t solve problems on your own. Our society is the type that we are told to be independent. When everything fails and falls apart you stop yourself from asking for help. While this is hard for women, it is even harder for men. If you don’t want to call 988 to speak to someone, don’t fool yourself. Just thinking about suicide is enough to call 988. This number is especially for you. Talk to someone line is trained and willing to speak with you. Your call it important to them. And if you are helping a loved one and you know the situation is looking bad, then you make the call. Whatever you do, call 988 or go to the Emergency Room at any hospital.

Suicide is a preventable tragedy that affects countless individuals and families. Our Pacific Islander families are the most crucial factor in reducing suicide among our loved ones. Through our peer support Kalanoa programs, you will learn how to talk in a confidential setting about stressors, burdens, and conflicts. We focus on our cultural values of love, sacrifice, service, spirituality, and structure to empower you with improved ways to increase mental health. Come meet your pathfinder who will guide you step by step through this process.  

Dealing with the loss of a loved one to suicide is a journey that is filled with darkness and can be incredibly difficult to navigate. It’s a rollercoaster of emotions that can twist and turn, leaving you feeling like you can’t catch your breath. It’s a unique kind of pain that’s hard to explain, and sometimes it can feel like no one else can understand the depth of your anguish. But please remember, you are not alone. There are others who have been through this and have come out the other side. It won’t be easy, but with time, support, and self-care, you can begin to heal and find a way forward.
