Re: How can we provide comfort and support to someone who attempted suicide?
Honestly, no matter how much I think about it, I don't know how I would have dealt with the situation. Even though I had a sibling that was suicidal she never attempted it. For us, we tried to get her involved with things that we knew bring her genuine happiness, sometimes it worked other times it was hopeless. Being around good supportive, encouraging and loving teachers, going to a psychologist, and new school environment with different set of friends helped. I think with teenagers family can't do as much to help as their peers, teachers and a psychologist can do, since that's where as who they spend most of their time with. I do think we were lucking it never escalated.Nancy004 wrote: ↑03 Jul 2023, 02:09 When Addison returned to school following her suicide attempt, it was evident that everyone, including her friends and teachers, felt uneasy around her. This only exacerbated her discomfort. If you were a close friend or family member of someone like Addison, how would you go about creating a comforting environment for them? Moreover, how should educational institutions and workplaces effectively address and support individuals in similar circumstances?

Creating awareness and fostering an open environment at schools or workplaces is essential. Treating everyone equally, without judgment, is a significant part of this approach.
