    Friends family member thinking of suicide
    Hey I have a close friend who's relative is thinking about killing themselves.
    My friend is certain that they will actually do it because her father had also taken his life and she has other reasons to believe so. I have no idea how to help my friend help her family member even though I'm the only one she's told and she wasn't even meant to tell me. Can anyone please give me any advice to give to my friend or advice to help me help my friend.
    Thank you.
