TRIGGER WARNING: This week’s episode is about the sensitive topic and themes around youth suicide awareness & prevention.  The number one cause of death of youth today is suicide. And although boys may have a higher death rate from suicide attempts, girls have a higher attempt rate. As adults who work closely with girls in K-12, we have a special role in recognizing warning signs and helping girls see another way out when it feels like there isn’t one. Our guest today, Suzi Freeman, works with both teens and their adults to build resilience, healthy coping mechanisms, and suicide prevention. Suzi offers suicide prevention certification classes for parents and adults working with kids, and she’s offered us two great NO-COST options to get as many of us certified as possible:  For a self-paced course (100% free): https://www.suzifreeman.com/suicide-prevention  Use code SCOUTS to waive the registration fee OR Join us live (**I’ll be there!!!**) for a Troop Leader Experience certification course + Q&A (100% free): https://www.suzifreeman.com/service-page/live-qpr-certification-virtual Use code ScoutsLive to access and book that for free.
