We suffered three teen suicides last week. [View all]

I bet this is a response to De Santis' Florida. Imagine trying to find your place in the world today, if inside, you feel just a little bit different.

How parents can talk to teens about mental health, grief, suicide after deaths in Seminole County

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – Seminole County Public Schools shared heartbreaking news with families this week about three recent student deaths by suicide.

The district sent messages notifying parents and students about the following losses:

15-year-old student at Lyman High School
15-year-old student at Winter Springs High School
16-year-old student at Hagerty High School
“This week, some of our school communities have faced tragic loss, and many are feeling the impact deeply,” a statement from SPCS begins. “During this difficult time, we want to remind our families and students that support is available for anyone who may need it. As a school community, we want every student to know that they are never alone and that help is always available.”

News 6 sat down with Cherlette McCullough at Center Peace Couples & Family Therapy to help parents who want to talk about such a difficult topic with their kids, and to share how important it is to talk about it.
