Question

select the correct answer.
once you notice that someone seems to be considering suicide, what is the next step you should take?
a. leave them alone
b. care enough to ask them about it
c. tell a friend about your concerns

Explanation:

When someone appears to be considering suicide, directly asking them about their suicidal thoughts in a caring, non-judgmental way is evidence-based best practice. This opens communication, validates their feelings, and is the critical first step in supporting them. Leaving them alone can increase their risk, and telling a friend first delays direct support for the person in crisis.

Answer:

B. care enough to ask them about it
