When we establish a conversation with a person with suicidal thoughts, it is important to do so with genuineness and active listening, which allows us to maintain a conversation that can act as a protective safeguard and, therefore, can help to reconsider decisions immediately.

Some messages we can give them are:

• Believe that there is another solution to suicide, even if you don't see it right now.
• Seek help as soon as possible: family, friends, or a healthcare professional.
• Don't keep your suicidal thoughts to yourself.
• Postpone any decision about suicide.
• Stay with others. Don't isolate yourself.
• He believes that crises are temporary, while death is not.
• People who have thought about committing suicide did not really want to die, but rather to end their suffering.
• Think about things or people that have helped you through difficult times. They are worth living for.
• Try to focus on the day-to-day.
• When you feel discouraged, avoid drugs and alcohol.
• Stay healthy, exercise, and eat well.
• Consult your primary healthcare professional for support or treatment.
• Write a journal in which you can write down the things that are really important to you.
