[quote=Anonymous]Tell your kid that it’s like going to the ER for any issue - the doctors will assess the kid and figure out what the right next steps are. If kid is not admitted, they could go home the same day and back to school soon after (depending on how they feel). If your kid is in the friend role, the best thing they can do is trust that the adults involved are handling the mental health stuff and keep on with regular friendship stuff. If your kid learned and helped flag that their friend was experiencing suicidal ideation to a teacher or other adult, give them lots of praise. They did the right thing! [/quote]
