The AP Stylebook's lengthy suicide entry advises that for stories mentioning it, suicide prevention experts recommend including in U.S. stories the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988 or chat at https://t.co/zNKj56931E.
In AP stories, those details are typically included in a publishable editor’s note, generally within the first five paragraphs of the story. For example:
EDITOR’S NOTE — In the U.S., the national suicide and crisis lifeline is available by calling or texting 988. There is also an online chat at https://t.co/2q0VIiLaLR
Or:
EDITOR’S NOTE — This story includes discussion of suicide. If you or someone you know needs help, the national suicide and crisis lifeline in the U.S. is available by calling or texting 988. There is also an online chat at https://t.co/2q0VIiLaLR
Similar information can be included on stories from other countries.
