I'm neither equipped nor capable to make a judgement on whether it's good or bad.

FWIW I don't personally like it. It feels like a cheap impersonal slogan thrown around that embodies the the idea of charity without work or risk. It reflects more on the speaker that wants to feel like they're doing something, and imposes an idea that wanting to genuinely die is the worst possible thing ever, when to me, there are much worse places to go then being actively suicidal.

On the other hand I'm not so foolish as to think that this would never help anyone. And if makes someone step back from the edge, perhaps it is not a waste. I don't know well enough either say with any certainty though.
