Helping Teens at Risk of Suicide: a Guide for Pastors and Youth Workers Dan Broyles

When life feels hopeless, sometimes suicide appears to be the only alternative, especially for teenagers. How can churches become a safe place to talk about difficult issues such as suicide? When teenagers are grappling with the idea of suicide, they are likely to turn to a trusted mentor. Such a person may be their youth pastor or youth group leader. However, when youth go to their youth pastor/minister for help when they are feeling suicidal, how should the youth pastor respond? This book is designed to provide the average pastor with simple and practical information when helping youth and suicide related issues.
