How to help my friend get help

A friend is feeling desperately low, and I do not know how to help or advise her.
I think she is being failed by her GP/mental health team - she seems to be going in circles and getting nowhere.
By desperately low, I mean she has said she doesn't want to live any more. She has said as much to an emergency psyche nurse last week, was told he'd discuss it with his team and get back to her - she has chased and chased and is hearing nothing.
Surely they need to take her more seriously?
I know she is on these boards so Honey if you are reading, I do want to help you, please hold on.
She's had loads of tablets but says nothing works. Had counselling - no help. I just don't know what to say or do for her.

Just to add, I live hundreds of miles from her, and have two young kids and it's hard for me to get a proper conversation with her when they are around, which is pretty much always.
