So remember, if you are concerned about a co-worker, a friend or a family member, and you think they may be considering suicide, you can ACT to prevent suicide:

A – Ask the question – “Are you thinking of killing yourself?”

C – Care for your co-worker – Listen with compassion and voice your concern.

T – Take action – Seek professional help.

If you or someone you know is thinking about suicide, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (TTY 800-799-4TTY).

This number can be dialed from anywhere in the United States 24 hours a day, 7 days a week toll free.

You can also contact the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) at 1-800-755-7002. The EAP provides all CBP employees and their eligible family members with up to six free face-to-face counseling sessions with a licensed counselor. All services provided by the EAP are free of charge, and completely confidential.
