👋I’m Rebecca Hsiang, a Registered Psychotherapist at C’est La Vie Wellness, and on Tuesday Novemer 18, I’ll be hosting a workshop for parents and caregivers on how to talk to your teens about su***de and self-harm.
Su***de is the second leading cause of death among teenagers in Canada, and even children as young as 8 or 9 years old can experience thoughts of su***de.
Because it’s such a sensitive topic — and because so much feels at stake — many parents worry about saying the wrong thing or making things worse or not knowing where to even begin.
⭐️I designed this workshop to help parents feel more confident and equipped to navigate these difficult but necessary conversations.
You’ll learn about
- Common myths about su***de and self-harm
- Warning signs to watch for
- Protective factors that reduce risk
- How to ask directly and respond with care
- What not to do when your teen opens up
Talking openly about these experiences can help your teen feel less alone in their struggle. It reminds them that they have people in their corner, rooting for them, and it helps lessen the shame around their suffering.
❤️I invite you to join me in this important conversation — let’s break the silence and be the support your teen needs
