Sometimes life feels like such a struggle, and that’s especially true when it comes to fighting addiction. Making the decision to recover makes you feel so powerful. Maybe that’s why a relapse makes you feel powerless. And why, afterwards, getting back on track seems impossible, or even pointless. But you should know that, even if you’ve relapsed, you’re still doing a great job. You made the choice to fight and change your life, and every time you get back up and try again, you’re proving that you’re committed to that decision. 

While it’s absolutely not your fault if someone you know dies by suicide, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to be vigilant for signs and prevent suicide when you can. If someone you know is showing any of the following signs, do not ignore them. You might be the one to be there for them. You might prevent a suicide.

At WTCSB, we offer SCIP OP – outpatient therapy services from the School Counseling Intervention Program. The program allows you to enroll your child in therapy services at school. There’s no need for an office visit – we’re in multiple schools across Suffolk, so it’s likely that your child’s school offers our services.
