Sharing accurate information about mental health and suicide gives children information, more information about it.
How do you bring up the topic of suicide with your kids? It's a tough question, but one that Dr. Christopher Fasano tackles head-on in this episode of 'The Better Mental Health Show'. This is part two of an important discussion on the rising rates of suicide and how to approach this delicate subject with children. Using insights from parenting expert Dr. Deborah Gilboa, Dr. Fasano offers practical strategies tailored to different age groups.
He emphasizes that just like our bodies, our minds can get sick, and it's crucial to talk about it openly and honestly. Dr. Fasano suggests being straightforward with your kids by asking when they've thought about suicide, rather than if they have. He also delves into the genetic aspects of mental health and the importance of checking in with young adults, especially those in college.
The episode is a treasure trove of advice for parents who want to foster an environment where mental wellness is openly discussed. By normalizing these conversations, we can better support our children's mental health from an early age. Tune in for a compassionate, informative guide on navigating these essential but challenging discussions.
