From Fox News: Young woman is talked out of suicide by a passerby, an off-duty paramedic: ‘Are you OK?’
This article from Fox News is an example of the power of intervention when a person is contemplating suicide.
From the article:
“If it wasn’t for the paramedic who stopped that night, I wouldn’t have got the help I needed or been able to see my children grow up,” she told SWNS.
Elizabeth was able to speak with the paramedic to express her appreciation — saying that if the woman hadn’t shown up and taken the time to speak with her, she wouldn’t be here today.
