Listen Later

Lori Wildenberg and Amber discuss her daughter's journey with depression and practical helps for parents as they navigate a world where rates of anxiety, depression and suicide are on the rise.

Questions Lori and Amber discuss about helping children with anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation:
  1. (4:32) Today, we are talking about helping our children overcome anxiety, depression and/or suicidal ideation which is very personal to you.  Will you share why it is personal to you and a bit about your experience journeying with your daughter?
  2. (15:25) Depression and anxiety in children is on the rise and suicide is the second leading cause of death in young people.  Why do you think that is?
  3. (20:34) In your book, Messy Hope, you provide a number of useful tools to help provide our children with hope. Will you share a few of those with us?
  4. (34:00) One of my favorite chapters is Hope Killers, because you share some common hope killer statements as parents. What are some examples?
  5. (38:56) You also write about The War Within. Will you briefly speak to these wars that can rage inside:
    • Wear the Mask
    • Fake Book
    • Tender Hearts
    • Destructive Doubt
    • Rejection Stings
    • Back Talk
    • Stabbing Pain
    • (51:47) You are careful to let readers know that reciting a Bible verse for someone with suicidal ideation will not likely alter their thoughts.  Flesh that out for us a bit and what are some better tools to use to support our children who are having suicidal ideations?
    • (54:24) If there's a parent listening, and they're at this place where they they just feel kind of hopeless in how to reach out to their child, what encouragement would you give them?
