In Part II of our conversation with recent high school graduate and youth mental health advocate, Natalie Alyssa Sanchez, we explore how and when she first learned about suicide. Natalie opens up about a friend of hers who practiced self-harm in middle school and later admitted that he was suicidal. We explore how to help a peer in danger, the pressure to keep their “secret,” and attention seeking behavior.
