The Des Moines Register had a pretty good article in today's online (likely print version too) newspaper. The focus of the article is about a recent rash of student suicides (4 in 2 weeks) in our Iowa school systems and what can be done to educate others about the issues of mental health and suicidal behavior. As a counselor, I thought it was good, useful information. As a parent, I found it to be very good information for me as well. My kids are young now, but they are getting older every day and will hit the ups and downs of their teen years all too soon and this information could be a great resource to start those family discussions before it is too late. Please take a moment to click and read the article for yourself.
