"This was the book I needed when my child was in crisis and attending college over 2000 miles from home. Tara has written a step-by-step guide to help not only your child or young adult, but also yourself in the midst of a parent's worst nightmare. I hope and pray you don't need this book, but if you do, I am grateful she has written it."-Kathryn R., parent

-Naomi Fishman, MD, Board Certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist"Facing suicide is scary for everyone involved, but Tara Rolstad's What to do RIGHT NOW is a honest and complete book that gives parents tools, tips and suggestions from someone who has been there. Based on research and clinical theory as well as personal experience, it's a great guide for parents written in real-life language on real-life situations."
-Elizabeth McErlean, LCSW, LISW"Finally, a book from someone who gets how gut wrenchingly difficult it is to have a child who has attempted suicide and struggles with serious mental health issues. Tara's book is easy to read, but filled with heartfelt wisdom and HOPE. While reading this book I felt like I was sitting with a friend who was listening, supporting, guiding and loving me through an incredibly scary and lonely experience. As I turned the last page, I felt grateful and understood, with a renewed sense of hope. "
