Snapper1 is a SSAFA case officer.
I accept that an individual may not want help, or may not want anybody to interfere. However, he may have sunk into depths of dispair and can't find a way out, which is where Snapper1 could come in. Just by explaining to the guy that he is not alone and there is help available may be what he really wants.
Worth a try.
Good luck, Snapper1. I hope the guy takes all the help that is offered.
