Are you concerned about the mental health of your youth? Teenagers are living in an increasing difficult and challenging world, with many young people experiencing high rates of anxiety and depression.
A study showed that more than 75% of parents are unaware of suicidal ideation in their child. Whether or not you suspect depression or suicidal thoughts in your child, you can take steps to help prevent suicide in your child. With Focus on the Family’s FREE online resource Alive to Thrive, you’ll learn about issues that can lead to suicide, and we’ll teach you how to address them long before your child might ever entertain thoughts of ending his or her life.

A lot of families are not sure what to look for or what to do and many churches believe this cannot happen within their community, but sadly it can. There is help and there are active things you can do to prevent suicide among your teenagers.
Suicide is preventible if we recognise the signs we can do something about it.
Come to the launch in your area, where we will discuss the Alive To Thrive online learning resource made for Pastors, Teachers and Parents where you can Learn How To Prevent Teen Suicide Using This FREE Online Training.
