I've lost 3 men in my life to suicide, 1 very close and very recently. What resources can I engage with to help. Literally what can I do, outside of generic advice, what's an action I can proactively take. Are suicide hotlines still a thing? Is being an operator on there possible and what qualifications are there.

Care for yourself and be yourself when you are around them.

If you feel happy be happy around them.

Ask them if they have considered therapy.

Ask them if they’ve done sports

Ask them if they have looked into their nutrition

If they say no to all of these questions try to not put too much preassure on yourself.

If they say yes to any or all those question try to not put too much preassure on yourself.
