Which of the following is NOT an action that can be taken to support and help resolve life's challenges and reduce the number of suicides?

• A. Encourage Airmen to seek the most appropriate resources
• B. Listen and refer Airmen to resources
• C. Resists the urge to assist Airmen with choosing the most appropriate resource to help resolve the problem
• D. Share coping strategies and resources

Answer: (C)

Providing proactive support and guiding Airmen to appropriate resources is how you reduce suicide risk. Encouraging Airmen to seek the most suitable resources helps them know where to go and lowers barriers to help. Listening and referring creates a bridge to care, ensuring they’re connected to the right professionals. Sharing coping strategies and resources gives them practical tools to manage stress and crises. Resisting the urge to assist with choosing the right resource runs counter to that approach: it delays or blocks access to needed help and leaves someone without essential support.
