Approach the conversation with empathy and non-judgment, expressing concern for their well-being. Listen actively and validate their feelings, avoiding criticism or minimizing their experiences. Encourage them to seek professional help from a therapist or counselor who specializes in self-harm. Offer support in finding healthy coping mechanisms and resources for managing difficult emotions.
