Description

If you’re the parent of an adult child who has considered, possibly even attempted suicide, this episode is for you. 

If your adult child is severely depressed and you worry about whether they've considered suicide, this episode is for you. 

However, if this is not your adult child, I know that you will still find it incredibly interesting because my guest is not just an expert on the subject, but has lived through this experience and her story is deeply moving and inspiring.

Mental health advocate and speaker Tara Rolstad, is the author of What to Do Right Now When Your Child Is Suicidal, a step-by-step guide for parents facing one of the most frightening times of their lives.

She's also the founder of the Parenting & Mental Health conference and has partnered with NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness. In this highly sensitive episode we talk about what parents can do to keep their child safe, calm, and supported through a suicidal crisis.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Respond when your child expresses suicidal thoughts
  • Create immediate safety and find professional help
  • Recognize and trust the warning signs many parents dismiss
  • Who to turn to when you’re scared and overwhelmed
  • Why you should never lose hope  while supporting their recovery

This is one of the most important conversations I’ve ever shared and if your family is in crisis, there is a path forward.
