Language
Don’t use the term ‘commit’ or ‘committed’ suicide - instead we would say ‘died by suicide’
Don’t refer to suicide as being ‘selfish’ or the ‘easy way out’
Don’t speculate about or discuss suicide methods - this has been shown to influence vulnerable people and has been linked to increases in suicide rates
Don’t discuss suicide locations for the same reasons as above
