Talking about suicide with your child can feel scary, but asking directly is an act of care. Pay attention to shifts in behavior or mood, keep home environments safer by limiting access to lethal means, and create a simple safety plan you can follow together. When you need immediate guidance, 988 connects you with trained counselors who can help you assess risk and make a plan. DBSA caregiver support groups provide a place to learn from others and feel less alone. https://www.dbsalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/parent-caregiver-flyer-copy.pdf?utm_source=pc+suicide+faq&utm_medium=social+media&utm_campaign=SPAM #SuicidePrevention #FamilyMentalHealth #CaregiverSupport #DBSA #YouthMentalHealth #988Lifeline (fb)

For 40 years, DBSA has been a pillar of community, wellness, and hope for those living with mood disorders. Ensuring that everyone managing a mental health condition can access peer support when, where, and how they need it relies on all of us. We want to take a moment to celebrate Johnson & Johnson, whose generous support helped make this year’s Gerald L. Klerman Awards possible. These awards—the highest honor DBSA gives—recognize researchers whose work advances the causes, diagnosis, and treatment of depression and bipolar disorder. When committed stakeholders like Johnson & Johnson join together with peers, their communities, and organizations like DBSA, that’s when we begin to see real change.
