How to Talk to Your Kids about Suicide

  • What: 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 by Atlantic Health System led by Adam Silberman, MD, Associates System Medical Director, Child & Adolescent Services, Behavioral Health, is designed to address the challenges adults face as we struggle to talk to children about suicide and to provide information and guidance to help navigate the conversation.
