57. Youth Suicide Prevention and Mental Health: An Open Conversation w/ AnneMoss Rogers

College and Career Ready with Coach Sonia

This episode deals with suicide & suicide prevention. It’s a sensitive, yet important topic, please listen with care.
Our journey today takes us to the heart of a topic that affects us all but is often shrouded in silence - suicide prevention & mental health awareness. We are honored to have AnneMoss Rogers, an acclaimed author and spokesperson, bravely and candidly shares her personal experiences navigating the mental health and addiction struggles of her son, which tragically led to his suicide. Her resilience and courage in shedding light on this issue form the backdrop of our conversation as we dive into the complex world of youth suicide, and how as a community, we can extend our support to those in need.
The conversation addresses crucial topics such as parenting strategies for communication and resilience, dispelling misconceptions about suicide, and highlighting the role of grief in the healing process. AnneMoss provides practical insights on reframing negative self-labeling and recognizing signs of overwhelm, offering valuable advice for parents, students and educators. The episode concludes with a focus on coping strategies and identifying signs of depression in students. The goal is to raise awareness, share knowledge, and most importantly, instill a sense of hope and connection for those grappling with mental health issues.
