Caring About Lives (CAL) cards are a great resource that can be downloaded for free.  The Foxcroft Academy Suicide Prevention Project Team 2003 created the CAL Cards. The CAL Cards provide information about possible warning signs of suicide, what you can do if someone hands you the card, and a blank space for you to write in resources in your area.
