If things feel serious right now
Some moments are bigger than practice. If your teen may be in danger, is hurting themselves, or talks about not wanting to be here, you do not need the perfect words, and you do not have to handle it alone.
You can start with
"I am so glad you told me. You are not a burden, and I am not going anywhere."
"You do not have to carry this alone. Let us find someone who knows how to help, together."

- Call 911If there is immediate danger right now
Reaching out is not failure. It is one of the strongest, most loving things a parent can do.
