A2: You definitely don't need special training to talk with someone about suicide. Asking directly & clearly is the best way: "Are you thinking about suicide?" #KeepGoing #AAS365

A2: An even clearer example: "Sometimes when people experience a lot of loss, like how you've lost your job, they think about suicide. Is that something you're thinking about?" #KeepGoing #AAS365

A2: Another one: "I love you & I need you to stay. How do you hurt & how can I help?" #KeepGoing #AAS365

A2: Means safety is definitely important to talk about as well. Making sure firearms and Rx pills are safely stored can mean life or death. #KeepGoing #AAS365
