In order make its product more helpful, Facebook updated its tool to report suicidal posts. Facebook claims that this tool will make it easy to report a person if he is having any kind of suicidal tendency. You can report a friend’s suicidal post and that friend will be provided help using different measures.

Today, I am going to tell you how to report suicidal posts on Facebook.

Step 1: Click on the arrow in top right corner of the post and then click on “I don’t like this post.”

 

Step 2: Now click on “I think it shouldn’t be on Facebook” and continue.

Step 3: Select  “It’s hurtful, threatening or suicidal” and continue.

Step 4: Now select “I think they might hurt themselves.”

Step 5: Now Facebook will give you different options to reach to your friend who is having some suicidal tendency. This option may vary in number depending upon the services provided in your region. I am getting only 3 here, but for some of you options like “Chat with the trained helper” or “Call lifeline”
