[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It terrifies me that we “never see it coming.” WTF can we do with that? How does that help us now? Should we be grilling our kids about their mental health? What do we do??[/quote]

More resources for mental health nationwide are needed.  The stigma, especially for adults in many professions, is unchanged.   Lots of work needs to be done.

It is difficult and the hints, if any, may be really subtle.   There are suicide prevention programs and classes that can be taken.  I have.  We all had lost people; friends, colleagues, relatives... and again, the common theme is, we did not see it coming.   The course can open eyes about certain aspects a bit more.   It teaches you the best way to talk to someone if you do catch a comment or get an "off" vibe.   I recommend the Canadian program, google ASIST.

Be open as a parent to talk about this topic, especially if you have ever struggled yourself.

So true. Suicide needs to stop being the “unspeakable”. Fentanyl poisoning must be addressed. Experimentation is now a brush with potential instant death.[/quote]
