Beyond "Fine": Recognizing Suicide Risk & Supporting Your Teen's Mental Health with Chris Coulter
#teensuicideprevention #youthmentalhealth #suicidewarningsigns
Are you wondering if your teen’s “fine” is just a mask? In this heartfelt conversation with Chris Coulter, I share powerful insights on recognizing teen suicide risk and supporting your child’s mental health through trust and open communication. Navigating the struggles of adolescent mental health can feel overwhelming, but learning to spot subtle signs like changes in behavior, mood shifts, and distress beyond typical teenage challenges is critical.
In this episode, parents will learn about:
• Recognizing subtle signs that your child may be facing mental health challenges, beyond typical teenage behavior.
• The impact of significant life events, such as divorce, on a child's emotional well-being.
• The frustrations and gaps that can exist in the public mental health care system when seeking support for children and adolescents.
• The crucial role of building trust and fostering open, honest communication with your kids.
• The power of parental advocacy and the need for systemic change in how we address youth mental health.
