It’s OK not to be OK
Presented by: Adam Silberman, MD, Associate System Medical Director, Child & Adolescent Services, Behavioral Health
Suicide is a topic that many adults are uncomfortable speaking about, but through the news, social media and discussions with their friends, our children are hearing about it more and more. Without a trusted adult to talk to, children are left with questions and misinformation surrounding suicide and other mental health issues. This presentation is designed to give participants a better understanding about the dynamics around suicide and how best to keep our kids safe.
