Is your home suicide-proof?
This is an EXCITING approach to “normalize” a difficult-to-discuss topic for adults and teens!
We “child-proof” our homes to prevent an accidental crisis/death and we know various emergency crisis procedures to prevent accidental death: 1) Heimlich Maneuver (for choking), 2) CPR (cardio-respiratory failure) and other first aid responses, 3) home fire escape plans, and 4) 72 hour emergency preparedness kits. This is what we need to do, as a society, to address suicide crisis. Death by suicide may be prevented if we know how to suicide-proof our homes and learn easy first aid crisis interventions.
