As a clinician & parent of 2 teens - please talk with your children and teens about speaking up to a trusted adult or police if they find themselves dealing with a su***de situation online. Most kids WILL find themselves in this situation at somepoint before adulthood at least once

A friend or acquaintance showing what they’re doing online on snap, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram etc. we need to teach our teens and children what to do if their friends send them pictures actively saying they are going to hurt themselves or actively doing it.

We need to let our kids know it’s ok to come to us and arm them with hotline numbers 988 they can share and when to call 911 if friend is sharing location.

Police rather do a well check and a child be ok then get a call that there is a deceased child.
