This episode features Sandra L. Rostirolla award winning author of young adult fiction.
In one of our most deep and sensitive conversations to date Sandra discusses her new book 'Making Friends With Monsters' which aims to help end the silence around suicide.
Drawing on her own tragic family experiences Sandra hopes that the book will help teenagers navigate adolescence and feel able to talk about their emotions and what's going on inside.
Studies from Emory University and University of Rochester have shown that teenagers who communicate their emotions are less likely to fall into depression and have suicidal thoughts.
