Interacting with others through comments and posts is a key element of engaging with others online.

If you have made a 'post' that refers to suicide or suicidal behaviour, or you have shared or replied to a post that involves suicide-related content, it can be helpful to monitor your post regularly for unsafe or harmful comments or content.

Here are some examples of harmful content:

• Bullying
• Comments that include an invasion of privacy
• Graphic descriptions of suicide
• Graphic images of suicide
• Means or methods of suicide
• Plans of suicide (e.g. when or how)
• Spamming or repetitive content
• Statements that encourage people to take their own life
• Statements that appear to deliberately seek to trigger difficult or distressing emotions in other people
• Statements that include suicide pacts or suicide partners
• Statements that place blame or make others feel responsible for another person’s safety
• Statements that provide vulnerable people information about how to end their life
• Suicide notes or goodbye notes
• Swearing
• 'Trolling'
• Verbal attacks
