I’m sorry, suicide has been shown to be much more acute activity than you are implying. Statistically if you stop someone, or thwart an attempt they do not try again the majority of the time.
Any action we do to reduce suicides really does save lives.
- coldtea 3y agoYes. My point wasn't about merely preventing suicide, but about stopping people feeling suicidal, even if they don't consider or go through the actual act. So not so much about saving lives in the technical sense, but about saving people by making them have lives worth living, and see life as such. Preventing things like bullying, abusive parents/spouses, job precarity and homelessness, and so on.
- onethought 3y agoAgree entirely. But it isn’t a dichotomy. We can do both. What you are suggesting is much more root cause. Again, agree!
