While suicide is rare in young children, the rates for suicide increase as children enter adolescence. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suicide is the third-leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds, behind accidents and homicide. Parents and caregivers can play an important role in helping build their teen's mental health. In this workshop, caregivers will learn the risks of teen suicide, as well as ways to help prevent it. This workshop is part of the "Ask a Therapist" series presented by Bonnie Brae in partnership with the Family Support Organization of Middlesex. Make sure to have your questions written, or you can submit them in advance to info@middlesexfso.org. We will be available for an hour so let's make the best out of it! All questions might not be answered but we will record them and get back to you. Please make sure to try the link to access the event before it starts in case of any technical difficulties.
