When it comes to suicidal ideation, we are unlikely to think of children as having such distressing thoughts.

In this episode host Alicia talks with Emma and Chloe from Wesley Mission Queensland. They help us to understand the signs of suicidal ideation that we can look out for and what we can do to support children who might be experiencing distressing thoughts.
