So Much to Live For: How to Provide Help and Hope to Someone Considering Suicide

Suicide is the nation's tenth leading cause of death, and in 2018 nearly 50,000 people in the US died by suicide, with thousands more attempting to take their own lives. Countless others experience suicidal ideation due to depression, anxiety, addiction, and more, living for years in silent misery. The sad truth is that someone you know may be suffering.

With great compassion and clear, actionable strategies, So Much to Live For shows you what to do, what to say, and how to intervene if you suspect a friend or loved one is considering suicide. You'll learn the signs and symptoms, understand the causes, and build the courage to step up and speak out.

God heals wounds and repairs brokenness, and he often does it using people like you. You can be instrumental in saving the life of a suicidal person you know. This book shows you how.

This book breaks down mental health into sections with useful information for each stage of depression. The author uses faith to add context to the book which may put some off but even if you are not into the faith you can still get great information from this book. A nice starting point to push you in the right direction for helping someone.

I also read Five Keys to Dealing with Depression from the same author and highly recommend this book as well. Similar topics but with self-help instead of how to help others.
