Children at risk for anxiety, depression, and suicide are hard to read and reach.
Is your child at risk?
Parents who lose their child to suicide are often blind-sided.
What did they miss? Probably nothing…
Sensitive children feel things deeply but rarely share those feelings – especially with their parents.
There are often no warning signs. On the “outside” your child may seem fine. On the “inside” they may be in great pain.
Parents and children rarely “speak the same language”, making a true connection challenging.

The digital danger
Digital addiction in children and parents - especially to social media - has caused anxiety and depression to skyrocket in both groups.
Parents distracted by their phones often miss subtle cues that indicate their child’s desperate need for parental connection and conversation.
Children 12-17 spend on average 7.5 hours per day looking at screens – a third of their lives!
Most adults check their phones hundreds of times per day.
