Shawna’s Planned Suicide (The Teenage Mental Health Crisis)
As a young woman Shawna had a plan to take her life. No one suspected it. But she gave a lot of signs to those closest to her. Dr. Danny Huerta, VP of Parenting at Focus on the Family joins us with a conversation about the mental health epidemic among our teens.
First, Shawna’s story and the signs to look for in a teenager planning suicide. Then, the big picture of the epidemic and what we can do to bring life to our kids! Next, as a teenager it never crossed Perry’s mind to share about his struggle with sexual sin. So, how can we create a bridge for our kids to open us to us about their struggles?
Then, what to do if your teen rejects help. Next, Danny’s grandpa saw Jesus just before he passed and how that impacted him. Then, how can you know God loves you? Last, creating a life-giving family culture. Please share this!

Shawna Beyer
Shawna Beyer has a way of telling stories that create personal connection— to her, to one another, and to God. She has been a homeschool mom, church planter, project lead for a consulting company, and church staff member. Though she’s been involved in ministry with her husband (Dan) in Iowa, Arizona, and now Michigan, she was born and raised in Southern California and as they say, “You can take the girl out of California . . .” She is mom to four grown kids (Bryn, Drayson, Eden, and Haven) who no longer need her but humor her anyway. Shawna is passionate about the rhythms we weave into the fabric of our lives to fall more in love with God each day. Healthy foods are her go-to, but she will abandon that whole track in a heartbeat for a homemade cinnamon roll like Grandma used to make.
