Suicide prevention
What can we say to a person who wants to commit suicide?
It will depend on the type of relationship you have with that person to see what is most appropriate, but, in general terms, you should:
- Validate their discomfort: "I understand... it's normal to feel this way" (These are not clichés, this has to be real to reach the person, therefore, before saying this, you have to have listened to them deeply).
- Transmit hope: "We'll get through this together..."
- Strengthen their connection to life: "You know you're not alone, I'm not going to leave you alone, we need you..."
