People who are predisposed to emotional distress?
The Social Welfare Department educates the public to communicate and dialogue with people with suicidal thoughts or emotional distress in accordance with the five principles:
1. Stay calm and listen calmly to what the other person is saying
It is advisable to say: I know that you are so hard and unhappy now, why don't you share it with me more, or it will be more comfortable to talk about it.
Don't say: I've been in the same situation before, but I don't want to leave!
2. Show concern and encourage the other party to talk about their feelings
It is advisable to say: I may not be able to fully understand your feelings, but I really want to care about you and want to help you.
3. Accept the other person's point of view, don't criticize or argue with the other party
Don't say, "It's wrong to commit suicide!"Why do you have such an idea".
4. Don't label the other person
Don't say, "Are you stupid to think about something like this."
5. Seek help from others
Perhaps you find it difficult for the other person to understand, or you are worried that you will not be able to cope with it, you can first let the other person understand your difficulty and express your willingness to accompany him or her to find another suitable person to talk to.
Yi said, "I'm so worried about your condition, why don't I go with you to find a social worker to help!".”
From the above recommendations of the Social Welfare Department, it can be seen that the most important principles are to listen calmly, encourage the other party to express their feelings, and refrain from criticism or argumentation.
Don't deny the other person's feelings, even if you may not be able to fully understand their feelings, you can express that you want to care, are willing to accompany them, and want to help them.
The Department also reminds that if you feel that you are unable to cope with it, remember to seek the help of others and find suitable candidates to communicate with them. If you perceive that the other person's life may be in immediate danger, you should immediately call the police for help.
