Suicide Prevention Training by Elyssa’s Mission
Elyssa’s Mission’s NEW Video Training Series is designed to help parents and caregivers take an active role in suicide prevention, and be better equipped to keep their child or teen safe. Whether you want to better understand what signs to look for, how to talk to your child about potential concerns, or when to seek treatment, this series can help.
