Have you ever felt like the kids in your life don’t hear anything you say? Or have you heard a teenager say something like “I already know what they’re going to say so I’m not going to even bring it up.” Connecting with your family and building open lines of communication is tough, and sometimes it feels impossible. We know feeling connected to others and having a safe space to share thoughts and feelings are key factors in reducing the risk of suicidal ideation. September is Suicide Prevention Month, and we want to focus on how we create a sense of connection and belonging with those around us. It’s ok to not be ok and having open and honest conversations is a great way to ensure others feel comfortable talking about how they are really feeling.
