What Is a Good Remedy for Suicidal Thoughts?

Question by Waxy: What is a good remedy for suicidal thoughts?

Best answer:

Answer by Jeanette M
When a teen commits suicide, everyone is affected. Family members, friends, teammates, neighbors, and sometimes even those who didn’t know the teen well might experience feelings of grief, confusion, guilt — and the sense that if only they had done something differently, the suicide could have been prevented. The reasons behind a teen’s suicide or attempted suicide are often complex.

To help sort through these issues, and to learn the warning signs that your teen might need help, it’s important to understand the forces that can lead teens to suicide and to understand what you can do to help.

What Are Your Opinions on Teen Challenge?

Question by Lady Tam: What are your opinions on Teen Challenge?
My 28 year old cousin has been abusing alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine for 15 years. Just as things seemed to be getting better, he quit his job (the best thing that’s happened to him in 28 years). He also suffers from Depression and Bipolar Disorder.

I have been researching Christian Drug and Alcohol inpatient treatment centers, and came across Teen Challenge. I’m curious as to whether or not the majority of people have had good or bad experiences coming out of this program.
Thanks!
