Best Answer

No*, but unless you are properly trained and can prove it, it would potentially open you up to lawsuits from survivors. Also, if you don't know what you're doing, you could do more harm than good by distracting people from more effective help such as Crisis Line and other suicide intervention programs.

Why not volunteer with them, instead?

*That could actually vary, depending on the jurisdiction, but in most places it would not be illegal, just unhelpful.
