If you are a teenager who is tormented by thoughts of suicide, know that you are not alone and can count on help. This is the main idea that the authors of “Overcoming Suicidal Ideation in Teens” want to convey at the very beginning of the book. Painful feelings and the desire to die are not permanent, they do not last forever. They can be overcome - and our book is intended to help you along this path.

Thoughts of suicide occur to many people at different ages. Thinking about death is not a sign of weakness or cowardice. Typically, suicidal thoughts only mean that the person is in pain or hardship. But there is always a way out, even if in the most difficult moments it seems that this is not so.

This book is based on evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and it contains many effective exercises: you will learn how create a safety plan in a situation that seems hopeless, how to surround yourself with support, how to find meaning and purpose in life. You won't get bored reading, because the tasks are designed specifically for teenagers: they are entertaining and interesting.

You're a great fellow for taking on this book! This is a bold and decisive step worthy of respect.
