Have a friend who tried to kill herself several times. I found out that she didn't need or want my compasion or require a "solution" from me, she just wanted to be able to talk to someone who treated her like a person and not some disturbed or delicate thing. Being there for your friend, without judgement or well meaning advice is the best that you can do. I could not empathize with my friend because I didn't Know what she was dealing with and I could not walk in her shoes, but I could hold her hand and let her talk to me.
I know every case is different but helping your friend be comfortable is the best you can do for her at this point and maybe if she gets comfortable talking to you about stuff, she will let you take her to councilling.
Best of luck in a hard situation.
