Need for suicide prevention materials in Spanish

[Guest guest]

Dear List Members,

Colleagues who are not on the listserv have asked for some help in locating

appropriate materials. If you have any ideas, please reply to all (they are cc'd

on this message) or write them directly (.Bloodworth@...,

Thanks,

We are looking for materials in Spanish that provide an overview of the signs

and symptoms that indicate that a person is suicidal. We have found the Spanish

materials at the NIMH web page that describe depression, obsessive compulsive

disorder and other disorders and are linking our page to them.

We are hoping to find a good brochure that was created in Spanish so that we can

avoid the translation issues and cultural pitfalls that come with translating

from English to Spanish. We are also hoping to find a brochure or materials

that are not copyrighted that we can put on our webpage and copy to use with

Spanish speakers in Oregon. Any help would be appreciated.
