What Should I Do if My Teen Is Suicidal?
If you have observed the warning signs of a risk of suicide in your child, there are many options and resources available to you. It is important to seek help from licensed professionals who can advise the proper treatment that can alleviate suicidal drives in your child and put them on the road to recovery. Potential treatment options can include inpatient treatment, therapy or counseling, and medication.
You should also maintain an open and honest dialogue with your child about what is troubling them. This can include discussion about feelings of suicide from social media use. Monitoring what your child is seeing online can help give you insight into whether social media is a factor in your child’s mental health.
