Understandably, we may feel extremely cautious about how to approach or talk to someone who is having suicidal thoughts; we may be worried about saying or doing the 'wrong thing' - and this often creates a barrier to helping.
In this comprehensive guidebook, Joy Hibbins (the founder of an award-winning Suicide Crisis Centre which has attracted international attention) shares her invaluable experience of helping people through suicidal crisis.
This book will show you how to:
* Understand the complexity of suicidal feelings and what may lead to a crisis
* Be aware of factors that can increase someone's risk of suicide
* Directly ask someone about suicidal thoughts
* Build empathy and a strong connection with the individual in crisis
* Learn strategies to support someone and help them survive
The fact that you care, and you want to help, can make such a difference to someone who is in need of support.
