Honest Conversations About Suicide Prevention

Originally recorded on March 19, 2026.

Today’s kids and teens are growing up in a world filled with pressure—academically, socially, and emotionally. Many parents find themselves asking, “What’s normal? What’s a red flag? And how do I keep my child safe?”

In this deeply important and compassionate conversation, Peace At Home Parenting founder Ruth Freeman, LCSW, is joined by Aimee Prange, LCSW, who spent nearly two decades with a national health care organization where she served as Clinical Director for Suicide Prevention Strategy.. Together, they offer clear, research-informed guidance to help parents approach one of the hardest topics with more confidence, connection, and care. Rather than focusing on fear, this discussion centers on what truly protects kids: strong relationships, open communication, and everyday moments of connection that build trust over time. 

You’ll learn:

• How to recognize warning signs and when to seek additional support
• What helps children and teens feel safe enough to open up
• How to talk about suicide in a way that is honest, age-appropriate, and supportive
• Practical ways to strengthen connection and reduce isolation
• How small, everyday interactions can become powerful protective factors

This episode is part of our series sharing previously recorded expert conversations from the Peace At Home Parenting vault, making practical, research-based parenting guidance more accessible to families.
