Parent’s & Guardian’s Guide to Self-Harm and Suicide

This guide was drafted in an effort to combine my knowledge and experiences as a clinical therapist, crisis worker, survivor of suicide loss, and someone who has experienced suicidal ideation chronically myself with current research-based, best-practice guidelines for supporting adolescents with suicidal ideation or self-harm tendencies. Videos will be added to the blog in the coming weeks to break down this information and dive a bit deeper. Some of the resources are particular to El Paso County, Colorado, but many are applicable across the state. The information aside from local resources is applicable to adolescents with these experiences across the country. This guide is not intended to replace clinical guidance or receiving mental/physical health care.
