Maybe try signing up for a hotline? They’ll give you the training required to at least give a solid attempt as well as more rationally limit the amount of people you feel obligated to handle.

Also, these sorts of things are often community based because suicide resources are often themselves community based. When you get trained for those things, you also get trained to know what community based resources are available for people.
