Sorry, what? Not doing anything may result in a false sense of satisfaction? > seem to conjecture that refering someone to a hotline raises the chance of that person commiting suicide I don't conjecture this at all. > all the evidence points towards suicide hotlines being effective at reducing stress and suicidality.
