Just as we all need to know how to perform CPR in case of a cardiac emergency, it is equally crucial that we learn how to support someone who is suicidal.

Xiaojie Qin

Psychotherapist and Director of CandleX

We understand that supporting a friend, family member, or colleague who is experiencing suicidal thoughts or attempts can be an overwhelming and isolating experience. You may feel helpless, confused, or even frightened. But you are not alone in this journey.

We are conducting an online workshop in Aug 2024 from Beijing, exclusively for those who are providing support to individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts or attempts.

If you are hesitant about attending group sessions to discuss sensitive topics, at CandleX, we offer a pre-treatment guidance session, which is one on one. We provide this private session as an option. Xiaojie,, partially volunteers her time to offer this support. Please be advised that each person is only eligible for one such session, with a maximum duration of 60 minutes.

Expected Outcome

• Understanding of Suicidal Stages: Attendees will develop a basic understanding of the psychological stages associated with suicidal ideation. This knowledge will help them identify when someone may be in crisis and in need of immediate intervention.


• Ability to Differentiate Real Suicidal Risk: Participants will learn to distinguish between genuine suicidal expressions and those made for attention or other reasons. This skill is crucial in ensuring that true emergencies are not overlooked or underestimated.


• Awareness of Do's and Don'ts: Participants will gain clarity on the appropriate actions to take when supporting someone experiencing suicidal thoughts. They will also learn what not to do, avoiding potentially harmful reactions or statements.


• Resources Available for extra support: Participants will get a list of resources available in China both professional and psychosocial support, including those for English-speaking residents in China.
