Kim and John Turner Discuss Their Son's Passing

CONTENT WARNING: Please be aware that today’s episode of Raising Families contains discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation.  When Kim and John Turner lost their son Patrick to suicide, they weren’t sure how their family could ever recover. Today, they’re strong mental health advocates who run the foundation Patrick’s Purpose. They join us in this episode to discuss the importance of mental health awareness in teens, and what parents can do to help lower the likelihood that their own children will ever reach the point that Patrick did. From school pressures to personal struggles, there's so much that our teens are dealing with but as parents we can help carry the load.      More from Dr. Jerry Weichman   Podcast Website: raisingfamiliespodcast.com   Website: drjerryweichman.com   Instagram: @drjerryweichman   YouTube: @RaisingFamilieswithDrJW   TikTok: @drjerryweichman  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jerry-weichman-ph-d   Facebook: facebook.com/drjerryweichman    Clinic: theweichmanclinic.com  This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast   IG: @reddrockmusic   www.reddrockmusic.com    The content in this video is intended for educational, informational, and entertainment purposes only.
