Orange County now has a suicide prevention app called “Friends Help Friends” that is meant to provide people contemplating suicide and their friends and family with resources and information on how to know the signs and prevent it. An “app” is software that runs on mobile phones and other devices, providing information and performing tasks.
“People with mental health issues can feel isolated and alone. They need to know that Orange County offers a variety of different resources,” said Orange County Executive, Steve Neuhause in a statement.
Veterans have a 50 percent higher chance of committing suicide.
