Support

Someone I know may be thinking of suicide. What do I do?

You can follow these five action steps to help someone who may be having thoughts of suicide:

Ask directly if they are thinking of suicide. “Are you thinking about suicide?” “Are you thinking about killing yourself?” Studies show that asking directly about suicide does not put the idea in someone’s head.
Be there for them whether it’s being physically present with them or listening over the phone.
Keep them safe. It’s important to establish immediate safety. Ensure they hadn’t taken steps to end their life before talking to you. Ask if they have a weapon they had planned to use in order to find a way to safely disable their plan.
Help them connect with resources that can help increase their safety. If you need crisis counseling, call or text Common Ground’s 24-hour helpline at 1-800-231-1127.
Follow up. Be sure to contact them after your initial conversation, and after you’ve connected them to resources. Continue to offer support on an ongoing basis, if possible. Give them local and national crisis line information.
