Facebook is now offering a new tool to report a possible suicidal post. If you read a post that appears to be suicidal in nature you can use the report feature next to the Facebook post.
Once reported to Facebook, staff will review it and send the post’s author an email. This email will contain the phone number to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and a link so that the poster can chat privately with a crisis counselor.
This is another great step forward for Facebook to help protect its online users. The video below by foxtoledo.com explains the new Facebook feature.
