Description

Hearing your child say words like, “I wish I were dead” can be the most terrifying moment of parenting. In this episode, we’re talking openly about suicidal ideation in children—why it happens, how to respond, and how to create safety and hope in your home. September is Suicide Prevention Month, but this is a conversation we must keep alive all year long.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

  • How to recognize and understand suicidal ideation in kids
  • What to say (and not say) when your child blurts out scary words in crisis
  • A simple rating scale that helps monitor thoughts and determine next steps
  • Ways to build a safe, supportive environment that brings hope and connection
