    It could be done well and it could be done disastrously.

    Reach out to what? To befriend them? To educate them? To turn them into the authorities so their freedom is taken away?

    There are multiple ways to prevent suicide. Some are enriching (helping a person find meaning) and others are demeaning and degrading (locking them up and giving them thorazine).

    I think such an organization needs to be ready to take no for an answer. Reaching out is okay so long as it doesn’t violate consent.
