Know someone who may be struggling? Suicide Prevention is everyone’s business!
- ASK: Are you okay? Become someone who cares enough to ask the other if she/he is okay.
- LISTEN: Listen to understand. Do not judge. Seek explanations to allow the person to open up to you.
- MOTIVATE: Offer your support and motivate them to manage the situation. Connect them to FNU counsellors or any other available professionals/resources who could help them.
- ASK AGAIN: Follow-up and ask again and stay connected. Be supportive, caring and most importantly let the person know that she/he is not alone.
