If you are worried it’s ok to ask - i.e. do you have suicidal thoughts?
You WILL NOT put an idea of self harm into a student's head by asking direct questions.
I loved the discussion around this point ... people brought up great points about using understandable and clear language
Early treatment can be critical - if you think something is up but can't deal with it yourself for some reason - bring the matter to someone else's attention!
Be calm and caring - non judgemental and supportive is really important
Encourage professional help - we are NOT experts and the most appropriate fcourse of action is to refer the student to a pro!
