Befrienders
Befrienders listen to people who are lonely, despairing or considering suicide. They don’t judge them, don’t tell them what to do. They listen. That may not sound much - but it can make the difference between life and death.

By listening to a suicidal person, a befriender helps them to listen to themselves.
