If someone is contemplating suicide, it's crucial to take them seriously and offer immediate support. Encourage them to express their feelings and listen actively without judgment. Connect them with professional help like a therapist or a helpline, and involve their close friends or family members who can provide additional support. Signs that someone may be contemplating suicide can include talking about death or suicide, expressing hopelessness or feeling trapped, withdrawing from activities, giving away possessions, or sudden calmness after a period of depression.
