The guideline recommends avoiding the use of stigmatizing language or labeling in headlines, but does not recommend refraining from using the word "suicide" altogether. A responsible and informed reporting of suicides can actually help raise awareness and prevent further tragedies. However, it is important to avoid graphic detail, simplistic explanations, and excessive coverage that can potentially trigger vulnerable individuals or contribute to the contagion effect.
