The Power to Prevent Suicide: A Guide for Teens Helping Teens

by Richard E. Nelson, Pamela Espeland, Judith C. Galas

When teens consider suicide, they often tell other teens—if not always directly, then in other ways. Updated with new facts, statistics, and resources, this book gives teens the information and insight they need to recognize the risk and respond appropriately. It spells out the warning signs, guides teens through the steps of reaching out to a friend, and explains when and how to seek help. It also suggests ways for teens to help themselves when they're feeling stressed or depressed.

This was a great informative book. In just over a hundred pages it gave clear definitions, warning signs, and ways to help. A short empowering read.

I wish this book didn't have to be written

[Kimberly · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great, quick and fairly comprehensive primer for teens on this subject. Every teen should read it because they will most likely all experience this situation. A necessary addition for any collection.

Wish I'd read the newer edition (a few parts of this were outdated), but a very good resource. Going on the to-buy list.
