Reaching the point of thinking of suicide can be a scary place to be. It is important to talk to someone about it, and to find someone who will help you explore your feelings and make a plan to keep yourself safe.

Mandy Hines
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, QS, MCAP
Fleeting suicidal thoughts can be normal. It’s when the the thoughts increase and/or lead to planning or intent. Feeling suicidal is scary. Through intensive safety planning, Baker Acts can be avoidable. It is my goal to utilize the least restrictive level of care to resolve intensive feelings of pain, helplessness, and hopelessness.
With over 15 years experience working in crisis mental health, I am comfortable working within crisis intervention and safety planning.

Monica Buttafava
Counselor/Therapist, M.S., LMHC
Suicidal thoughts or suicidal ideations in young children and adolescents may manifest themselves indirectly through interest and/or preoccupation with suicide and death, or more directly when kids speak about "wanting to make it all go away" or thinking "the world would be a better place without me."
Other signs are social withdrawal, depression, aggressive and hostile behavior, declined interest in hobbies and activities previously enjoyed, feeling of worthlessness, self-hatred, expression of guilt or hopelessness about the future, neglecting personal appearance and grooming, reckless or risk-taking behavior, running away, changes in sleep, appetite, and energy level.
Seeking treatment for your child is essential. A trained mental health professional may pick up on subtle cues, address underneath thoughts and feelings, and assess individual risk factors and severity of the individual's condition.
