WIT & REASON WITH DR. ALEXIS MORENO

Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among 10 to 24-year-olds. Approximately 20% of kids have seriously considered suicide within a one year period here in the US. This may be a passing thought that happens once or something that a child may be thinking about more actively. How do you have a conversation about emotions, mental health, and concerning behaviors with the teens in your life? Then, what do you do if they mention something concerning? Listen in as Dr. Alexis speaks with a professor of psychology and neuroscience and researcher, Dr. Mitch Prinstein, to get specific tips on how to support teens’ mental health.
