Has suite changed? Many people I've had great dialogue with over the years have gone. It's harder to navigate...but then, I'm older and suite101 tries to be innovative for a new crowd?

This current discussion is not listed on entry to Mind & Soul 'recent discussions'. All article-initiated discussions are quarantined from general ones so we need to search Community by Community, on a fishing expedition to see if they contain recent discussions. I think some hard written articles are not seen as a result.

Happy to help with the link. 'Reachout' has won a number of awards for its efforts. I did a Mental Health First Aid course in 2001, developed by Australia. I successfully advocated its use in 2 government agencies dealing in welfare. Here's its online manual:

The suicide issue related to first aid or crisis. I guess there is a time and place where we avoid the problem to focus on the solution. But what if you suspected one of your children of an eating disorder or such children attended that school where the specialist talks to the kids. Good secrets and bad secrets for children to understand?

Where's the balance? Your topic is family focused so I suspect parents c/sh/would be more in tune with their child's relative capacities. Not every child needs a full de-briefing after scraping their knee but the occasional generic one throughout their lives can't hurt.
