Kids’ Mental Health Today & Suicide Prevention

Today we're joined by Dr. Steven Rogers, an emergency medicine physician and the Medical Director of Connecticut Children’s Youth Suicide Prevention Center. We talk about why suicide remains a leading risk for kids and teens, and how early identification, open conversations, and simple screening can help save lives. Dr. Rogers shares what parents and caregivers should know about recognizing warning signs, how to talk to their children about mental health, and why connected, ongoing care is so critical in times of crisis. As always, this conversation is for informational purposes only, so please reach out to your own healthcare provider for guidance and support.
