This National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, Commissioner Carrie Slatton-Hodges of the Oklahoma State Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse joins us to provide parents with tips on talking with kids about suicide and depression, signs and symptoms to be aware of, and steps to take if we suspect a child we love is contemplating suicide. She shares details on the new 988 statewide mental health hotline that operates 24/7 and offers services for mental health crisis calls from licensed and certified health crisis specialists, for both crisis situations and when parents or kids themselves need resources or someone to talk to.
