Equipping Parents: Suicide Prevention Tools and Resources for Helping Suicidal Teens
In this episode, we explore the essential resources and tools parents need when navigating the frightening reality of a suicidal teen. Joined by experts Allison Jenkins, LCSW, and Reggie Wilson, LCSW, we discuss assessment tools like the Columbia Suicide Severity Risk Scale (CSSRS) and Question, Persuade, and Refer (QPR), and explain how parents can implement these potentially lifesaving strategies at home. You'll also learn how to create a safe environment, find emotional support for yourself, and reduce immediate risks.
