Know someone with suicidal tendencies? PDF Print E-mail

Here's how to help them:

  • Don't be interrogative to persons who have suicidal thoughts.

 



  • Find a counsellor.

 

  • Take every threat seriously.

 

  • Don't treat persons with suicidal thoughts as if they were mad.

 

  • Parents should not compare them to others but instead, try to affirm the positive in them.

 

  • Don't overreact, as sometimes they would tell you more but are not sure if you could handle it.

 

  • Tell them how important life is.

 

  • Help them to explain their feelings.

 

 

If you have suicidal thoughts:

 

  • Talk about what you are feeling and avoid the tendency to lock yourself away from others.
