Summary

We say this often, but parenting is one of the greatest blessings and one of the greatest challenges. There are really hard places in parenting that are much easier to avoid rather than address head-on.

Suicide is one of those topics.

It’s emotional, it’s scary, and it’s easy to feel inadequate when it comes to talking about it. That said, the CDC lists suicide as the second-leading cause of death in children and young adults between the ages of ten and twenty-four. We can’t afford to gloss over a topic so pervasive in our youth.

This statistic has become more than a number in recent days as we have seen family after family impacted by suicide in our community. Many of you have asked us to consider entering the conversation and to provide biblical guidance and resources.

We heard you, and today we are doing just that by providing a special edition of content focused on suicide.

Our prayer is that these resources are helpful as you consider the topic of suicide. However, we are not a substitute for professional help. If you are struggling (or anyone around you is), please get the help you need and deserve.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is (800)273-8255.

0:07.4	Parenting can get messy and that's why we're glad you're with us.
0:10.2	Each week we have honest discussions with our guests about the ups and downs of parenting
0:13.7	and the lessons God is teaching us along the way.
0:16.4	It's fun, it's real, and it's biblical.
0:18.8	We put our trust in a God who re-scripps our mess into
0:21.5	his greater message. That's the best parenting news we could ask for. Join us each week on Pardon the
0:26.1	Mess as we walk the Parenting Road together. Hey guys, this is Cynthia Yanov. I'm glad you're with us
0:31.3	today on Pardon the Mess. You may have noticed, but we are releasing two podcasts today that are
0:36.2	outside of our February series. And these two
0:38.9	podcasts are on suicide. And it's a topic that has been on our minds and our hearts here in
0:44.4	Dallas this last several weeks and months. And so people have reached out and asked us if we had
0:48.9	resources or podcasts that talk about suicide. And we felt like now was a really important time to do that.
0:55.5	So with me is K. Wyma and I'm excited to have her chatting with us today about it.
1:00.6	But we also both want to make sure, you know, we do not come from a place of being professionals.
1:05.2	So in addition to this podcast, we're releasing one with Mia Imbrough, who is a professional.
1:10.6	She's an LPC and she will talk to us
1:12.5	more on the professional side of things and warning signs. So please listen to that podcast as well.
1:18.1	But if you or someone you know needs help, please reach out and get the help you need. Suicide is a
1:23.4	serious, serious topic and subject and one that I think many of us are nervous about even addressing.
1:29.4	But we're going to do this today, but also want to encourage you to get the help you need.
