Would you know what to do if someone told you they were thinking of suicide?
When a friend or loved one tells you they are thinking of taking their own life,

may seem unbelievable. You may feel helpless or hopeless, or both.
This booklet is for everyone in that situation. It gives basic information to help
you understand what brings someone to a point in their lives where they are
feeling suicidal. It also gives practical information on how you can support
them and how you can mind yourself through it all.
