Suicide is the second leading cause of death among adolescents (aged 15-19). The pressures of the global COVID-19 crisis have increased rates of anxiety and depression, and early studies by health officials suggest an increase in the rates of death by suicide in teens. We as parents, loved ones, and friends need to know the signs and be better equipped, if and when we hear a cry for help. Joining us in a discussion about adolescent suicide prevention:
Carol Deely - Founder, Gabriel's Light
Dr. Nicole Fisher, Psy. D. - Great Life Counseling Center
Kristi Wiley - Program Director, The Jordan Elizabeth Harris Foundation
