Is someone you care about feeling suicidal or has had a recent suicide attempt?
If someone you care for attempts suicide, or has known suicidal thoughts, you may not know where to go for support.

- Discuss how to talk about a suicide attempt to family members/social circle and the person who attempted suicide
- Psycho-education about why people attempt suicide
- How to talk about safety
