The new tool gives people who may not be comfortable picking up the phone a direct avenue to seek help.
The new suicide reporting tool will be made available to people who use Facebook in the United States and Canada. The availability specific to USA/Canada can be understood from the fact that nearly 100 Americans die by suicide every day, according to the Surgeon General of the United States.
