What is the most important step you can take if someone you know may be thinking about su*c*de

How – Asking the question “Are you thinking about su*c*de?” communicates that you’re open to speaking about su*c*de in a non-judgmental and supportive way. Asking in this direct, unbiased manner, can open the door for effective dialogue about their emotional pain and can allow everyone be the one to ask graphicinvolved to see what next steps need to be taken. Other questions you can ask include, “How do you hurt?” and “How can I help?” Do not ever promise to keep their thoughts of su*c*de a secret.
