If they ask you not to tell anyone, tell them you want to help them get the support they need – and that that may involve enlisting the help of others.

Ask if you can talk in private. Ask questions to open up the conversation (such as “You haven’t seemed like yourself lately. Is everything OK?”). Listen to their story and express care. Ask if they’ve thought about hurting themselves or ending their life. Encourage them to seek mental health services.
