Episode Notes

In this episode Dr. Ashley speaks to Dr. Ritchie again about the out-pour of responses they received from teenagers who listened to the podcast episode.   Dr. Ritchie gives more great advice on what teens could/should do if they have a peer who is contemplating suicide.

Dr. Ashley also speaks with one special coach who assigned the teen suicide episode 1 listening as homework to the youth athletes; how he came about this idea and how you as a coach can make a bigger impact on your team as well. 

Suicide crisis Text Hotline::: Text "HOME" to 741 741   and you will be connected with a licensed professional who is there to help.
