Verified step by step guidance1
Recognize that when someone may be thinking about suicide, the most important action is to ensure their safety and provide support.
Understand that promising to keep suicidal thoughts a secret can prevent the person from getting the help they need, so it is not advisable.
Avoid ignoring the situation or hoping it will improve on its own, as this can increase the risk of harm.
Refrain from simply telling the person to think positively or avoid discussing their feelings, since acknowledging and validating their emotions is crucial.
Encourage the person to seek professional help and, if they are in immediate danger, stay with them to provide support and ensure their safety until help arrives.
