When 17-year-old Sydney Fink first brought up feelings of suicide and self-harm with their family, it didn’t go that well. They told their parents one night at dinner, and their dad overreacted and shut the conversation down. But now, Sydney and their dad, Micah Fink, are helping families learn how to talk about mental health together.

Good afternoon PO1 William "Chip" Nagel. Excellent post. Thank you for sharing this shipmate. I think it's a very important topic. Because there have been many times where parents tend to ignore the fact that their child is having these thoughts or the child doesn't discuss it with a parent and by that time it's to kate to turn back the clock. Time waits for no human.
