The rate of suicide in children is rising sharply, not at a true crisis point. It's something we worry about as parents, and rightfully so. Especially when we're talking about a marginalized population like neurodivergent kids. Conversations with our kids about suicide are paramount, but often avoided because it's a really hard topic to think and talk about.  In this episode, Jonathan Singer, Ph.D., LCSW joins me to talk about suicide. As an expert in the field, Jonathan shares the latest statistics, why the epidemic is increasing, and what we can do about it. He also provides examples of the conversations you should be having with your kids.

Today, I talk to Jonathan Singer, host of The Social Work Podcast as well as associate professor at Loyola University Chicago School of Social Work. I asked Jonathan to come on the podcast today because I’ve had this growing sense of disconnect between all the talk about social determinants of health, all the talk about how clinical care has a relatively small impact on patient outcomes compared to environmental factors, how the most important number in health care is someone’s zip code. All this talk swirling around, and rarely do social workers come up in the conversation—at least at the level that you’d think they would, given the number of years of education they have in addressing the environmental factors in question. You can learn more at socialworkpodcast.com. Jonathan B. Singer, PhD, LCSW, is associate professor of social work at Loyola University Chicago, secretary of the American Association of Suicidology, and an award-winning author and podcaster.
