Suicide Lodge is here as a suicide reference, it is not a suicide prevention site. If you are suicidal, please call
The Samaritans (0345 90 90 90 in the United Kingdom or 1850 60 90 90 in the Republic of Ireland.) You can visit The Samaritans Website by clicking here, or send email to: jo@samaritans.org. E-mail is read and answered 365 days a year.

Or call The National Resource center for Suicide Prevention and Aftercare (1-404-256-9797 in the U.S.A. or Canada.)
Or call The American Association of Suicidology for the nearest agency. (212-237-2280 in the U.S.A.)
They are all trained to deal with the suicidal mind.
The aim of the site is to present facts and resources related to the subject of suicide. It is not pro, or anti suicide. There are pictures that show peoples bodies after they have committed suicide on this site. This may be very shocking to some people.
You can go to the bottom of this page for links to other suicide sites.
Below is a list of a few books that I have found helpful in the study of suicide. For a more complete list of death related books click here.
