Human: I was just at the train station and I saw suicide hotline number signs up everywhere. Why is this?

Assistant: In the US, the “National Suicide Prevention Hotline” has signs and advertising up everywhere, and not just at train stations.  This is to remind you that there is help and support available, if you are having suicidal thoughts.  They can also provide other support to help you cope with your feelings in general.  The hotline number is 1-800-273-TALK (8255) and is open 24 hours a day.

Human: Why are there so many at train stations? Do people kill themselves there often?


Assistant: The number of times the train-fare agency can provide support is believed to be significant.  And once it is made clear to us there are more jobs available than in the US, and in many cities the number of deaths is large.  Many trains also come with a safety helmet and seatbelt, to help protect people during the long run-out.


Assistant: The public are being taught to avoid suicide at the train stations. This means that you are taught that people must leave their homes, and that it is necessary to stay on your home.  This is done by people who do not feel safe enough on their walk home to avoid getting help for a period of weeks or months. If you live on public transportation, it is strongly advised that you walk frequently. The safety information and services provided to you at public transportation are not only available, but are also available for people who cannot afford it.
