As a parent, you want the best for your children. You work every day to protect them from harm. Sometimes
that work means you have to have some difficult, often uncomfortable conversations – including ones about
suicide.
Talking to your child about suicide may be the toughest conversation you ever have, but it may also be the most
important.
Why it’s important to talk about depression and suicide?
Suicide is the second leading cause of death in the Unites States for kids ages 10-19.
Approximately 1 out of every 6 high school students has considered suicide in the past year
Depression and suicide affect people of every race, religious background, and income level
Kids need to know the warning signs of depression and suicide and how to get help if needed
Most kids who attempt suicide have shown signs of depression
