“We’re always here for you"

For context: One of the rules in that community is that you aren't allowed to post anything related to suicide. In a mental health community.
The rule is probably in place so other people don‘t get triggered to contemplate suicide as well.
But there’s research to prove that’s not a thing. Copy-catting maybe, but you’ll never “give them the idea”. If they’re in that bad of a spot, they’re there already -source: suicide prevention trainer, but not mental health professional
Could you provide a source for that research? I swear I'm not being combative, just genuinely interested.
Not OP but here you go. I work with young people and have had suicide prevention training multiple times, this is a recurring mantra that not asking about it is much worse than asking.
Thanks a lot for posting the study.
Thanks. I wonder if this is limited to a therapeutic context and if the same is true for third party mentions of suicide. But I'll look around for that by myself.
