This panel conversation will include three parents whose child has made a suicide attempt. We will show several short clips from this film and discuss suicide care best practices. The discussion will highlight the questions that frequently emerge from parents and families and the clear, concise, consistent information that parents crave. Further, parents will share their perceptions and experiences of accessing mental health care for their child and what suggestions they have for improvements.
