Episode Details

When teens withdraw to their rooms or kids say "I'm fine" through tears, how do you know when to worry? In this crucial episode of Mindshift, mental health expert Julia Hebenstreit joins Christopher and Deb to demystify suicide prevention and trasnform fear into action.

Julia reveals why asking directly "Are you thinking of suicide?" won't plant the idea (that's a myth!) and shares practical tools like creating wellness plans during good times and identifying your "three people" for tough moments. Learn the warning signs and discover how programs like Hope Squads prove that youth are actually leading the conversation better than adults.
