Find out where the person is if you are not actually with the person when she makes the threat. Get the person's exact location, including street address. Know the person's cell phone number also, if possible.
Call the local police department and report the suicide threat. Be prepared to furnish the person's full name, location and the person's cell phone number, if possible. Also call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800-273-8255) to speak with a crisis counselor.
Stay with the person until help arrives if you are together. If you are not with the person, try to stay connected by telephone.
