The most terrifying words I’ve ever heard were from my son, telling me he didn’t want to live.
Sadly, this became a reality. At the time I had no idea of what to do besides get professional help from his physician. Since that time, I have researched and studied many options that no one informed me of, with the intention of giving people the information I wish I had been given This book is a result of that research. The suggestions included are strategies that can be implemented, along with medical advice, but keep in mind that the root cause needs to be determined to effectively address the problems. Psychiatrists are inclined to prescribe medications, but medications alone cannot solve the problem, as they just mask the symptoms. Our well-being is comprised of our whole being, which includes mind, body, and spirit, therefore, healing needs to occur in all areas of our life.
Right Now! Practical Strategies for Anxiety, Depression, and Suicidal Thinking is an insightful and compassionate guide to suicide prevention and overall wellness. Blending practical strategies with emotional support, this book emphasizes the importance of mental, physical, and spiritual well-being in navigating life’s challenges. Through a holistic approach, it offers tools for self-care, resilience, and personal growth, making it a valuable resource for those struggling or supporting others in crisis. With its uplifting tone and actionable advice, this book serves as both a prevention tool and a roadmap to a happier, more balanced life.

I absolutely love Suzanne Oliver’s new book, Right Now! Practical Strategies for Anxiety, Depression, and Suicidal Thinking. I have learned so much from her book and was easily able to identify with her and appreciate the information that she so freely shares. Each section flows easily into the next, and her writing is clear and concise, which in turn does not overwhelm the reader. I especially enjoyed the way in which she has given alternative suggestions and resources since, as she mentions, some protocols may not work for some individuals. Suzanne’s book is for anyone and loved ones who have struggled with mental illness and suicide, leaving the reader educated and inspired that there is hope.
