The Executive Director of the Memphis Crisis Center, Mike LaBonte, spoke to a local news station on the subject.

“If a person discloses to you that they’re thinking about suicide, one of the things you want to do is don’t act shocked,” LaBonte said. “Do not be judgmental, be calm. Listen to what they have to say.”
