4 out of 5 teenagers who attempt suicide show clear warning signs. People don’t always say they need help. They scream out their pain in silence. It’s not just social media. They’re not just memes, GIFs and likes. Art speaks.

Listen.

They say that the worst pain in life is losing a child. When parents hear that their child is thinking about suicide, or has even tried to commit suicide, they often become paralyzed by the fear that they will say or do something that will lead their child to take their own life. Many parents coming into our suicide prevention programs say “I feel like I am walking on eggshells and don’t know what to do.” Yet, parents are rarely involved in treatment to any great extent. In fact, we have heard from many parents that they have been discouraged from participating in their child’s mental health treatment!
