      Suggest they call or text 988 (the suicide hotline). Other than that, just be there to listen.

      Support, and if possible, be with them.

      Reassure them that things DO get better and you'll be there to help and support them. And this might not be helpful for everyone but something that's helped me is reminding myself that I'd rather die happier than I am in that moment. Is there a particular situation you can them get out of to improve things? Like current living situation or family shit etc
