Suicide Prevention
Do you know someone who may be considering suicide?
-Automatic translation
Support from a person's immediate environment can make a difference. As family members, friends, neighbours, or colleagues, we can all make an impact by observing how we feel and the well-being of the people around us. If you have concerns about someone having suicidal thoughts, it is good to know that it is okay to ask the person directly if they are considering suicide. Asking about suicidal thoughts does not increase the likelihood of the person taking their own life. It can help individuals in distress to feel that someone is there to listen.
Do not leave the person alone if you think there is immediate danger. Seek professional help.
