In honor of National Suicide Prevention Week and Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, we have collated some resources for you including a crisis text lineteen mentalhealth website for your and your teen, a video on how to talk to your teens about about suicide, and a comprehensive parent guide (and guide in Spanish) on teen depression.
