Dead Serious: Breaking the Cycle of Teen Suicide | 
This is the other heavy book I‘m reading right now, so I can only read little bits at a time. I recommend it because it has useful anecdotes and suggestions for how to talk about certain topics.
I want to see my students graduate and grow up to have bright futures. That‘s a heavy weight when several are suffering from depression. 💕 #teachersofLitsy
cherinium I may have to look into that one. My 13 year old niece just attempted suicide last week. Thankfully she was unsuccessful and is receiving the treatment she needs, but I'm worried sick that she will try again. 💔 5y
tjwill @cherinium I‘m so sorry for what your niece and your family are going through. I think this book is helpful for knowing what to say and how to join a conversation, even though we usually want to shut down suicidal talk. Those thoughts may always be there for some people, so ignoring it isn‘t helpful. It can be hard to know what to say, though. I‘m glad she‘s getting treatment! (edited) 5y
