And in the long run, it calls for creating a home environment where kids feel safe sharing their emotional lives and where families solve problems together.Here are some specific things that parents or a family member can do to help.This could be a long and difficult journey, so parents need to have emotional support themselves, Crider says."If it's a friend's house that maybe they can go to if they need to have a meltdown, to release all of that," says Crider. But mental health professionals say that suicide is preventable and that parents and family members can play an important role.It's hard work that requires parents to listen to their children, acknowledge their struggles and help them find a way out of their darkness.
"What could possibly be the issue?"But someone who is feeling suicidal or depressed is already overwhelmed and may be unable to see a way out of their pain and problems.Instead of getting upset, parents should respond calmly and "put their game face on," says Megan Hilton, a senior at Ithaca College, who has struggled with depression and anxiety and is a survivor of suicide attempts.Really try to listen to what your kid is saying"When I've come to my parents, their reactions have been way over the top," says Hilton.

"Like if you're feeling really depressed and isolated, some people might be like, 'Well, what gets me out of a depression is to go exercise and go for a run.'

She suggests using language like: "We'll go and get whatever help you need so that you can feel better and you can be your best."Hilton cautions that not everyone needs the same thing when they're feeling down."A lot of times, people try to comfort or fix things the way that they would want it," she says.
