TW: Suicide. I’ve been approached by a follower asking how to help a suicidal friend. I want to help, but feel giving advice myself would be disingenuous. I don’t have that much experience, and I worry about causing more harm through ignorance. What advice would you give?

From experience working with suicidal students, I'd suggest your follower ask their friend if they feel they're unable to keep themself safe. If the answer is no, they should encourage their friend to call an ambulance and reassure them doing that doesn't make them a burden.

But I'd also reassure your follower that supporting their friend doesn't mean providing the support themself as someone who doesn't have experience dealing with or talking about suicide. They can encourage and support their friend as a friend, but they should signpost

In addition, if you personally need or want more specifics or need support in offering support (support-ception!) my DMs are open, feel free to hmu; the ripple effects of talking about suicide support can appear in odd and unexpected ways sometimes
