Creating Hope Through Action
Connect to Life - Suicide prevention is teamwork.
PRACTICE ALMA
Ask and offer hope: Are you okay? Become someone who cares enough to ask the other if she/he is okay.
Listen willingly and accept feelings expressed: Listen to understand. Do not judge. Seek explanations to allow the person to open up to you.
Motivate to take action, become available: 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, get involved: Follow up and ask again and stay connected. Be supportive, caring, and most importantly, let the person know that she/he is not alone.
