An event in Nampa this week will help equip parents to prevent teen suicides.
The event, “Preventing a Crisis: Straight Talk on Youth Mental Health and Suicide,” will be held from 6-8 p.m. on Wednesday at the Brandt Center Auditorium at Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa.
The adults-only event will include speakers such as local school district officials, mental health experts, and a parent whose child died by suicide several years ago who will offer resources for parents.
The event comes as three teens enrolled in the Nampa School District have died by suicide in the last six to eight weeks.
Historically, Idaho has ranked in the top 10 states for suicide rates.
