Teens, Suicide and Depression

The numbers are heartbreaking: suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people ages 15-19.

And, as if parents didn’t have enough to worry about, social media exposure and the threat of online bullying leaves many parents uncertain of how to protect their children and safeguard their well-being.

Join U-M clinical adolescent psychologists Dr. Polly Gipson and Dr. Cynthia Ewell Foster in a live web chat about how to support your teen, signs to watch for that could indicate your child may need help, and how to have important conversations with them about their own feelings as well their friends and peers.  The chat will include a live Q&A segment.
