Suicide Awareness- It can be worrying for parents when their teenagers’ mood is often low and they say things like “I just don’t want to be here”. This session, delivered by CAMHS professionals, will explore ways to support young people with these thoughts and help to understand and manage risk with young people who have had suicidal thoughts or attempts.
