What to do if someone is feeling suicidal:

"You may be able to help someone who is considering suicide:

Talk openly and matter-of-factly about suicide. Be direct. ("Are you thinking about killing yourself?")
Be nonjudgmental.
Be willing to listen and allow expressions of feelings.
Be available. Show interest and support. Become involved.
Seek support. Don't be sworn to secrecy.
Don't dare the person to do it.
Don't act shocked. This will put distance between you.
Offer hope that alternatives are available but do not offer glib reassurance.
Take action and try to remove items that could be used for suicide."
