MindSet 2022 - Suicide: What You Must Know - Part Two: A Story to Tell

This is Part Two in a four-part series about suicide. I use a real-life experience from my early days as an intern finishing my graduate studies toward my Master's Degree from Florida State University.Storytelling is an excellent skill to use to highlight critical areas of importance when you are learning more about suicide. This is a powerful episode for parents of children and adolescents. Sadly, suicide is the second leading cause of death for people between the ages of 10-34. I tell the story of a 15-year-old girl to emphasize a greater understanding of the warning signs of suicide and depression. In doing so, this story is meant for parents to help them recognize a troubled child and how to effectively respond and open dialogue.You can find immediate help and referrals by contacting the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
