Dr. Julie Sorenson Launches New Resources for Suicide Prevention

Dr. Julie Sorenson Empowers Youth with New Suicide Prevention Resources

Dr. Julie Sorenson, an accomplished mental health professional and author, is unveiling a groundbreaking initiative designed to support youth in navigating the sensitive topic of suicide prevention. With her extensive experience in counseling and a Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy (DMFT), Dr. Sorenson has spent years developing tools to help children build emotional intelligence and resilience.

Her new initiative, "Let the Sunshine in From the Black Hole," is a research-based book targeted toward children in grades 3 to 5. Using the creative technique of personification, the book sensitively addresses the topic of suicide prevention in a way that children can understand and relate to. This crucial work provides educators, therapists, and caregivers with the tools they need to help young people struggling with self-harm thoughts.

To support the implementation of this book in educational settings, Dr. Sorenson has also released "The Teacher Component for Suicide Prevention," a comprehensive guide packed with historical context, warning signs, trends, and lesson plans to facilitate sensitive conversations with at-risk students. The accompanying resources empower both children and educators to approach emotional challenges with empathy and care.

A Holistic Approach to Emotional Support

Dr. Sorenson's initiative aims to provide comprehensive emotional support across various settings, from schools and universities to therapy offices and hospitals. In addition to her most recent work, Dr. Sorenson's previous books-such as "A Nasty Virus Struck the World, So the Giraffes Stay Home to Stay Safe" and "Social What? Don't Call Us the Bad Kids"-have tackled timely issues, such as the emotional toll of the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges children face in returning to school after long absences.

Dr. Sorenson's books offer a compassionate approach to understanding emotional struggles and provide a much-needed platform for difficult discussions on mental health.

Upcoming Release: Mean Mean Samantha Gene

Dr. Sorenson's upcoming book, "Mean Mean Samantha Gene," follows the journey of a young girl, Samantha, as she grapples with the consequences of her bullying behavior. With support from her family, Samantha learns about remorse, personal growth, and emotional maturity, offering readers an inspiring message about redemption and the power of kindness.
