The process starts when you come across a worrisome post on Facebook. You can report it from both the Web and any official Facebook app on a smartphone or tablet.
This screen walks you through the various options to help your friend. You can select "Ask us to look at the post" if you aren't comfortable enough reaching out the person directly, or you can opt to alert a mutual friend.
Sometimes just knowing someone is paying attention and is willing to help can make all the difference. You can send a message to your friend with information for him or her to seek help directly in the message.
