It's scary when someone you care about has suicidal thoughts. It's even scarier when it's your child.
Johanna Louie w/@SuicideIsDiff has solid tips for parents & other caregivers dealing w/this kind of situation. (She wrote a guest post for my website.)

"In suicide prevention, it’s not good enough to focus on pulling people back from the brink. Workplaces also contribute to enhanced hope, purpose, and identity that give people reasons for living and provide a pivotal role in recovery."

If you’re a parent and reading this, what advice would you give another parent who has a child who is struggling with their mental health? Share in the comments.
Your advice could really help someone.

Does a friend, family member, or someone else you care about have suicidal thoughts?
It's hard for the person you care about, of course, and the danger, uncertainty, & fears are hard for you, too.
I wrote a book on how to help and, not incidentally, how to cope.

A1: Asking directly about whether somone is thinking about suicide does not increase risk for suicide. If someone tells you they’re thinking about suicide, check out our #RealConvo Guide here: datocms-assets.com/12810/158… #BeThere
