If you are concerned they are contemplating suicide, ask “Are you thinking about killing yourself?” Studies have shown that asking at-risk individuals about suicide does not increase suicides or suicidal thoughts. </li> <li aria-level="1"><strong>KEEP THEM SAFE:</strong> Don’t leave the person in crisis alone, unless it compromises your safety. As long as it is safe to do so, attempt to reduce access to lethal means or items that put the person at risk while you access help. If the person is experiencing suicidal/homicidal thoughts ask about a plan and attempt to remove means involved in this plan. </li> <li aria-level="1"><strong>BE THERE:</strong> Listen carefully and learn what the individual is thinking and feeling.
