Stay With Them

What do you say when someone tells you they don't want to live anymore? What do you do when someone you love is struggling with suicidal thoughts?

Stay With Them is a practical, compassionate guide for anyone who wants to know how to respond when someone is struggling with suicide.

It helps you understand what may be happening beneath suicidal thoughts, what to say, what not to say, how to listen, when to seek help, and how to stay present without feeling like you have to fix everything. This book also addresses the parts people often overlook: supporting someone beyond the immediate crisis, caring for yourself while supporting them, and facing the difficult reality that sometimes the outcome is not what we hoped for.

You do not need to be a mental health professional to learn how to show up. Sometimes, you just need to know how to stay.

Stay With Them is for friends, family members, partners, teachers, colleagues, advocates, and anyone who wants to become a safer person for someone who may be struggling because one right conversation can change everything.
