Suicide is a hard topic to talk about

It’s okay to ask someone if they are thinking about taking their life. Asking won’t pressure them to do it — it shows you care and want to help.

If you ask, be ready to listen and stay with them. Talking openly helps reduce stigma and encourages people to seek help. A short online course can give you the confidence to start.
