COPING WITH THE ANOMALIES

Experts agree that teaching people how to process loss and coping with different emotions are essential in suicide prevention. Though this is not a general solution and this may only apply to those with mild cases since depression and the cause of suicide differ from person to person, but it is worth looking at. If a person expresses they have suicidal thoughts or maybe shows signs of depression, always take it seriously.

Always have in mind that whatever advice you may bring should always be simple and practical. A huge factor is also to be genuine with your feelings and help them throughout their whole coping process.
