If someone you know is vulnerable to suicide, it's important to put prevention steps in place so no harm can come to them. Putting time aside on a regular basis to talk through how they're feeling is a good start.

| Preventing Suicide |
Here are some other things to put in place: Make a safety plan: Have a plan in place that you can immediately trigger if suicidal ideation becomes a reality. Write down coping strategies they could adopt, contact details of people who could offer emotional or professional support, and steps you could take that would minimize risk (e.g. removing things from the immediate vicinity that could be used to cause harm).
Don't ignore the signs: If signs of suicidal ideation appear, don't make light of or dismiss them. Seek the support they need as soon as you can.
Support in treatment: Be it researching local support options or attending medical appointments with your loved one, be as helpful as you can. Try and take some of the burdens off your loved ones so they know they're not fighting this alone.
