About this listen

In this essential episode of The Parenting Pair Podcast, Dr. Annalise Caron and Dr. Suzanne Allen tackle one of the most difficult—and important—questions parents ask: What should I do if my teen talks about suicide?

Drawing on clinical expertise, they break down:

  • Why talking about suicide doesn’t increase risk—and how it can actually be protective.
  • Common signs that a teen may be struggling, even if they don’t say the word “suicide”.
  • What to say in the moment if you are concerned or your teen shares this with you.
  • How to offer presence, hope, and support without needing all the answers.
  • The power of circling back if a first conversation didn’t go well.

This conversation is about building greater understanding, openness and connection—so you can show up for your teen when it matters most.
