WtfEvenIsExistence3️“We’re always here for you"
MonsieurHedgeI feel like this needs context.
The rule is probably in place so other people don‘t get triggered to contemplate suicide as well.
But there’s research to prove that’s not a thing. Copy-catting maybe, but you’ll never “give them the idea”. If they’re in that bad of a spot, they’re there already

Could you provide a source for that research? I swear I’m not being combative, just genuinely interested.
SpeckleNot OP but here you go. I work with young people and have had suicide prevention training multiple times, this is a recurring mantra that not asking about it is much worse than asking.
Thanks. I wonder if this is limited to a therapeutic context and if the same is true for third party mentions of suicide. But I’ll look around for that by myself.
RoundcatThanks a lot for posting the study.
