This tool (Lock to Live) can help you make decisions about temporarily reducing access to potentially dangerous things, like firearms, medicines, sharp objects, or other household items.

You or someone you know may feel hopeless, down, or alone right now. Many people have gotten through times like this, and you can too. The promise of tomorrow can start with small steps towards safety today. Storing dangerous items securely when someone is at risk of suicide increases the chance they will survive. It is like holding on to a friend’s car keys while they are drinking.

Suicide means safety decision aid (Lock to Live) is now available in Spanish. Both the English and Spanish versions are free for public use and will soon be linked to each other.
