Progression

The Cycle to Break 1.Stress/ dramatic event(s) 2.Depression 3.Suicidal Thoughts 4.Suicide Attempts 5.Death

What NOT To Do & What Is NOT Helpful Never act shocked “Really?! I would never expect you to feel that way.” Never suggest negative alternatives “Lets go party this weekend and you will forget all about it.” Never deal with these feelings on your own “If I care enough they will begin to feel better…” “ I will just tough it out and things will begin to improve.” Ignoring or dismissing the issue “Oh, lets talk about something else.” You’ll meet another girl and forget about this one, you’re a great guy.” Acting shocked or embarrassed “You aren’t REALLY thinking of suicide, are you?” Challenging or debating “So go ahead; see if things really do get better.” “Don’t you know it is wrong to kill yourself?”

What IS Helpful? Show You Care—Listen carefully “I’m concerned about you….About how you feel.” Ask the question while showing you care! “Are you thinking about suicide?”

Get Help ASK THE QUESTION Be direct in a caring, non-confrontational way. “Are you thinking about suicide?” GET HELP Do not leave him/her alone *”I know where we can get some help.” *”I can go with you to where we can get some help.” *”You’re not alone. Let me help you.”
