After an Attempt:
The Emotional Impact of a Suicide Attempt on Families
Where to turn
The best predictor of a future suicide attempt is a previous attempt. This is why it is important to get help, design a plan of action, and increase communication with your loved one immediately after an attempt. You may be feeling confused and unsure how to talk to your loved one who attempted suicide.
