Around 10 people die by suicide every week, according to Samaritans.
The charity is using World Suicide Prevention Day to encourage people to intervene if they believe someone is struggling.
It says people shouldn’t worry about finding the perfect words.
Samaritans can be contacted free, 24 hours a day, on 116 123.
Executive Director Sarah O’Toole says simply starting a conversation could make a difference.
