A Pocket List of Names

The following story was told about a child who had been having a lot of thoughts of hurting himself.

"…He and his therapist decided to write down the names and telephone numbers of some people that he could call if he started feeling suicidal again. The child, on his own, put this list in his pocket when he went to school. Having the list in his pocket made him feel less alone and he did not have suicidal thoughts that day."
