[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had 2 friends commit suicide in high school/college. I honestly don't know if you should reach out to the parents as well - but I would strongly encourage your daughter to reach out to this student with a card or even a text or an email or something. It could mean the world to this other person to know that they are not alone and someone...anyone...cares enough about them as an individual to reach out. I suspect that would mean far more to the parents than hearing from you would as well. [/quote] This is a great idea. I work in suicide prevention. It’s important to let the person know they’ are not alone and should not feel more shame for what they are going through. Comments on social media are not enough. I phone call or personal note are much better. Maybe your daughter could encourage other friends to do the same. [/quote]
