        A compact but comprehensive volume highlighting ways to navigate suicidal ideation in teenagers and help them care for their mental health. From providing readers with a road map on how to use the book to helping teens create a safety plan and identify warning signs, this resource for navigating suicidal ideation in teens has it covered. This book is a great way for teens and their caregivers to better understand how they can respond to suicidal thoughts and promote overall well-being. By clearly outlining the signs of when to seek external help, explaining what kind of help to seek depending on the circumstances, and showing how not all negative thoughts have to be scary, Pettit and Hill have created a helpful interactive resource that can be used independently by teens or with the support of an adult professional. By outlining clear, actionable steps and ways to identify various levels of severity, this book helps remove some of the fear around seeking help in difficult situations. The examples provided include a broad range of situations, including unhealthy friendships, divorced parents, difficulties with romantic partners, and bullying. Stories are used to illustrate how teens can use the tools provided in this book and how each person might do so a little differently. The inviting layout includes chunks of texts broken up with questions, charts, and bullet points. An accessible, empowering, informative guide for teens and their caregivers.
