September is
Suicide Prevention Month. Facebook is now sharing a new infographic and a site wide public service announcement to help users find the resources for when a friend makes troubling posts on the site.
If you see a worrying post from a friend, you can either "report" on the post itself or search "suicide" in the search bar. It will provide you a list of resources and a suggested message you can send to that friend. You will also have the option to report the post directly to Facebook, which triggers a read to proceed message on your friend's Facebook with resource information.
Facebook will attempt to contact local law enforcement to check on your friend's safety. Check out the source link below for more.
