Mental Illness & Suicide Prevention In the Family Car

My guest, Amy Stern, LMSW, is doing amazing work in mental health and suicide prevention. I'm proud to say that she's also my daughter! In this episode, we cover some topics that can be really challenging to talk about but are so important, like:

What is mental illness, exactly?

When is the typical age of onset for various mental illnesses?

How can I know if my child or loved one needs help or if they're just in a funk?

What are some of the indicators that someone is seriously considering suicide?

How can I talk to someone if I'm worried that they are suicidal, and are there any resources to help?

I hope you'll join us for this important conversation!
