Service to humanity is key among Facebook’s aims and objectives, and Mark Zuckerberg is intent on proving just that.

Facebook recently announced that it will be rolling out its suicide prevention tools and resources on a global scale.

Here are 5 things to know about the life-saving innovation.

• With the new tools, users who think someone has posted something that warrants concern can reach out to such persons directly or report them to Facebook.
• After you’ve flagged the status, the author will receive a message saying that someone was concerned about their post.
• They will get options to talk with a trusted friend, call a helpline, get tips and support, or skip.
• You can also choose to reach out directly to your friend, and Facebook will offer suggestions on wording.
• The global roll-out will be in collaboration with local partners and will be available in all the languages that Facebook is available in.
