Supporting Safety at Home When Your Child Has a Mental Health Crisis

November 7-26, 2024 6:30pm – 8:00pm

When our child or youth has had a mental health crisis, knowing how to keep them safe can be overwhelming. Our concerns can include suicidal thoughts, self-harming and aggression. Listen to this discussion about some ways that can help us talk to our kids about their safety at home.

Victoria Keddis hosts a conversation with Lu Ripley, Director of Community Learning and Engagement at the BC Crisis Centre and Tammy Music, Family Peer Support Worker at Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Child & Adolescent Psychiatric Stabilization Unit.

Come together and watch a video presentation and stay for a facilitated conversation by our Family Peer Support Workers.

There are sessions available for multiple dates:

These events are funded for parents and caregivers living in the Province of British Columbia and for CASA families in Alberta. If you are from another province or territory, or live outside of Canada, we welcome you to visit the video library at https://www.familysmart.ca/videos and use the available resources. Thank you.
