It might work in opposite ways. Introducing more obligations on those who want to get rid of existing ones isn't a good idea to help them get better.
When you can't materially do something for the person, the best is to listen and offer some insight with the disclaimer - that's the best you can do and would have done more if it was possible.
Many people come claiming to help but they make the issue political or about them. A person is likely already aware of generic advice because any query showing suicidal intent on Google will show those helplines and results.
