Describe what you should do if you suspect someone is contemplating suicide.
What will be an ideal response?
- Talk to the person, listen without judging, and talk specifically about suicide.
- Take charge of finding help for that person. For immediate help, contact a suicide hotline.
- Evaluate the situation to determine if the person has made plans, and if she or he has, do not leave that person alone.
- Make the environment safe by removing all potential weapons and other hazards.
- Get a promise or commitment, preferably in writing, from the person that they will not attempt suicide until you have talked further.
- Remember that a change to a better mood does not necessarily mean the crisis has passed.
