– If your teen, or a teen you know, is experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety, help and resources can be found by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (1- 800-273-8255). Even if the teen is not having thoughts of suicide, there are trained mental health professionals available 24/7 to answer calls.

– Parents can empathize and normalize the struggle of their teens by offering them a safe place to take their uncertainty, being vulnerable about the tough times in their lives, and leading with an example of faith and prayer.
