In the last episode, we heard from people who had ideated and/or survived their own suicide attempts, as well as people who had survived a loved one’s suicide. They told us about all the unhelpful and hurtful things that people had said or done. 

But there ARE things that people can do and say that ARE helpful, and in this episode, we dive into it.
