How to Help

Ask and listen: Be an active part of your loved one's support systems and check in with them often. If they show any warning signs for suicide, be direct. Tell them it’s OK to talk about suicidal feelings. Practice active listening techniques and let them talk without judgment. 


Be understanding: Do not make your loved one feel guilty. Don’t make it about you. Listen and be as understanding as possible. 


Give a hug: Let them know they are still loved and you still want them in your life. Sometimes, a hug can say more  than a thousand words. 


Get them help and take care of yourself: Don’t be afraid to get your loved one the help they might need. Crisis help lines  are available 24/7. Helping a loved one through a crisis is never easy. You might  want to talk about your feelings with another friend or a counselor.
