Preventing Teen Suicide

Watch the "Not My Kid Video" Online at: http://www.sptsnj.org/parents/video/spts_parent_video.html

The questions to ask about whether or not your child may be at risk for suicide can be complicated. This short video asks and answers a few of those questions, but more importantly, demonstrates how to ask those questions-and keep asking-until you get answers that help you understand whether or not yoru child is at risk...and what to do about it. The video is provided by The Society for the Prevention of Teen Suicide (SPTS) which was started in 2006 by two fathers who had lost teenaged children to suicide. Feel free to visit their website at:
