^^That's so important- feeling safe enough to share. My husband and I are seeking to model this for my step kids - it simply wasn't part of their growing up (nor my husband's) as "stuff" just wasn't discussed. Very different in my family, and as both kids have been hospitalized for suicidal ideation/attempt getting them help for each of their mental health struggles is simply critical.
Grateful that my step daughter has a good counselor she initiated seeing; hopeful my step son will follow suit.
