Talk openly and matter-of-factly about suicide.  Be willing to listen. Allow expressions of feelings. Accept the feelings.  Be non-judgmental.  Don’t debate whether suicide is right or wrong, or whether feelings are good or bad.  Don’t lecture on the value of life.  Get involved. Become available. Show interest and support.  Don’t dare him or her to do it.  Don’t act shocked. This will put distance between you.  Don’t be sworn to secrecy. Seek support.  Offer hope that alternatives are available but do not offer glib reassurance.  Take action. Remove means, such as guns or stockpiled pills.  Get help from people or agencies specializing in crisis intervention and suicide prevention.
