RE: Some Guidelines for Approaching Posters who are Severely Depressed / Express Suicidal Ideation

Important post. We all need education about scope of what we can offer and what we don't.

I worked a Suicide Hotline in an academic setting. Each call I took was really, when we took the time to just chat, was more often about a need for freedom of some kind more than anything else.

However, before answering I prepared, as any caller could have been in the worse possible state. Care is needed for both the caller and the one offering a listening ear.

Keep up the good work, @freecompliments
Much love!💖
