It is a well established fact now that suicide is contagious. Just the mention of it is enough to cause a spike in suicide attempts.

Then how do you tell people that they can be helped about it without triggering the very thing?

I would say you mention it when the subject has already come up. Probably do not however devote an entire class period or a special school assembly to it.
