I agree about the one on one factor...it's so important. And about calling the police if the you think they might take their lives! Some notes on suicide...if you're (any of us) talking to someone who talks about killing themselves listen to whether they have a specific plan or are they just generally stating they want to die (this can be very key)? Those that have a specific plan are probably dangerously at risk. If they aren't talking about it but you are concerned with their changes in mood etc see if they are giving things away that...preparation for not being around etc. Also if they are saying they are going to do it and have the plan make a contract with them to not do it for a period of time...make them promise you to meet that contract and then call for some help!
