Guidelines for Supporting Someone in Crisis

When helping someone experiencing suicidal thoughts, approach with empathy, patience, and genuine care.

Below are essential DOs and DON’Ts, adapted from guidelines by Susan Stafford (2018):

DO:

  • Listen with compassion and make eye contact.
  • Ask direct but gentle questions about suicidal thoughts or plans.
  • Validate their pain and avoid minimizing their feelings.
  • Offer small steps toward hope (e.g., “What might help you feel just a little better right now?”).
  • Stay connected and follow up consistently.

DON’T:

  • Judge, accuse, or express anger.
  • Use clichés like “It’ll be fine” or “Everything happens for a reason.”
  • Call them selfish or weak.
  • Leave them alone during a crisis.

Action Steps:

Remove dangerous items, encourage professional help, and offer to accompany them to appointments or hotline calls.

Remember: connecting from the heart can make the difference between isolation and hope.

Ongoing Support and Follow-Up

Even after a crisis passes, consistent encouragement and connection remain vital.

Check in regularly, celebrate small victories, and support continued therapy or group participation.

Compassion and community save lives—every conversation matters.

You Are Not Alone

If you or someone you love is struggling, help is available—day or night.
