> What most people want is to stop bad irreversible decisions. Not so sure about this one. Isn't it that, from the point of view of a healthy, well socialized human, it's quite a horrifying thought of someone killing themselves? Isn't it that, if you have the gift and the will to give someone something so substantial as "being listened to", and this would save them from killing themselves, that is a human deed that we should offer for free, willingly and with compassion? In my belief system suicide prevention is (for the most part) an emotional issue rather than an intellectual one.
