Suicide Prevention
Suicide Prevention
Suicide is the leading cause of death among school-age youth, but it is also preventable. Caregivers are in a unique position to notice changes in their loved ones. Warning signs may include direct or indirect suicidal threats (e.g., notes, social media posts); previous attempts; giving away belongings; and changes in behavior, appearance, thoughts, or feelings.

Grief
Grief
Grief can be complicated for adults; imagine the range of feelings and responses children and teens experience as they grieve. Some of our children may understand death, but their grief may bring up difficult feelings to process, or may trigger risky behaviors. Caregivers will need patience to encourage healthy grief strategies while also maintaining consistent expectations for behavior. Learn strategies to support children through their grief based on their developmental age here, or access additional resources on our Community Supports page.
