Resiliency Technologies, Inc. is a trauma-informed technology platform that connects national thought leaders in suicide prevention, substance use prevention, resiliency and childhood trauma. Recently, we held an online webinar featuring Dr. Alex Karydi of American Foundation for Suicide Prevention and Callen-Lorde Community Health Center in NYC to provide tools and resources to support children and teens. Requested by our community suicide prevention task force, the session was followed by a Q&A discussion featuring several licensed clinicians and community members. We wanted to make the link available to members of this group. Simply access the resources here: https://www.sharpenminds.com/helping-children-teens.
