Suicide Prevention with Dr. Greg Hudnall

Описание: What if one of the most powerful ways to support struggling teens isn’t trying to fix them—but teaching them how to show up for each other? In this episode, I speak with Dr. Gregory Hudnall, founder of Hope Squad, a peer-to-peer school program that trains students to recognize when a friend is struggling, listen with empathy, and guide them toward help. The program is now active in schools worldwide and is reshaping how communities think about mental health support.

We discuss:
Warning signs families, educators, and peers should notice
Resources for those struggling with suicidal thoughts
Resources to help prevent suicide in those around you
How communities can create cultures where no one feels invisible
