Teen suicide is now being called “The Silent Epidemic”. When asked “Have you made a plan to commit suicide in the past 12 months?” a staggering 10.9% of our youth answer “yes”. Parents, we can’t afford to assume our kids would never consider taking their own life.
Do you know what to do if your teen has expressed wanting to hurt themselves? What are the warning signs? Where do you go for help?
