This video needs to have more views! Love what you're doing. Great tips.

[@mallorygrimste]

aw thanks Jessica - hoping it will get to the people who need it 💗

[@errinwitherspoon2192]

It is so refreshing to hear you acknowledge that using words like "death, dying, suicide, and killing yourself" will not give someone who is considering suicide the idea. I mean it completely makes sense, but I have never thought of it that way. And I think that using those words might feel like putting the oxygen back in the room when everyone's been holding their breath. Thank you for addressing this. I'm loving your videos!

[@mallorygrimste]

Thanks Errin - I remember being a student learning about this and freaking out about that misconception. Now that I've been working with these kiddos for 10+ years I know it can help save a life when you're a clear. (Plus if they meant something else, it gives them that opportunity to explain, too)
