Parents are often at a loss when their teen expresses a desire to kill themselves. What does a parent do? Most parents either shy away from the topic and minimize it, or become frantic and uncertain which results in the teen withdrawing. This supplemental guide includes practical tips on how to approach this topic with your teen. This supplemental guide (created from my book Understanding and Helping Suicidal Teens: Therapeutic Strategies For Parents & Teachers From A Trauma Therapist) was created for parents looking for practical and quick information on communicating with and treating a teen with suicidal thoughts. In this guide you will find: suggestions for identifying the need to reach out for help, approaching the topic of suicide with your teen, learning to react with empathy, a case study of a teen with suicidal thoughts to assist you in practicing an empathic response to your teen, reaching out to teachers for added support, a sample letter you can use to inform teachers, and information on types of treatment available.
