It seems that the word "suicide" alone is a taboo and should not be mentioned. Naturally, this makes it difficult or even impossible to initiate a conversation with someone who might be feeling suicidal. How do you best approach them? How can you help them? However, Jade is familiar with these questions, and luckily agreed to be our guest. For further information, you can also go to the 24/7 Helpline of the Samaritans or find a suitable helpline.
