Teen Suicide Awareness - IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU NEED TO WATCH!

Описание: Teen suicide is one of the fastest-growing mental health crises in the United States — and today, we’re having the conversation that too many families never get the chance to have.

In this special episode of The Your Life Matters Show Podcast, Steve Hodgson and psychotherapist Dr. Eric L. Davis take a compassionate, direct look at the emotional struggles teens are facing across the country. From overwhelming academic pressure to social media comparison, identity challenges, trauma, loneliness, and silent internal battles — this episode breaks down the realities behind the statistics.

We’re also joined by Steven Leilich, Executive Director of NAMI Marion County, whose team works directly inside middle and high schools to provide suicide prevention, early-intervention education, and mental health awareness for students who often feel unseen or unheard. His firsthand insights reveal what teens are really dealing with… and what can truly help save lives.

In this episode, we cover:
✔ The latest national teen suicide statistics
✔ Why teens today are more emotionally vulnerable
✔ Warning signs parents and teachers often miss
✔ What schools are doing — and what they should be doing
✔ How early intervention and conversation can prevent tragedy
✔ How NAMI’s school programs are making a real difference
✔ What every teen needs to hear right now
✔ How parents, peers, and communities can take action today

This episode is difficult… but it is necessary. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, student, community leader, or someone who simply cares — your voice and awareness matter.
