facebook broken heartBecause this type of information is readily at hand, Facebook has joined forces with Save.org, a nonprofit devoted to suicide prevention, to study the activity of users on Facebook who committed suicide. By finding behavioral patterns connected to suicidal thinking, the research may help prompt family and friends in intervening before it becomes too late.
