Imagine that you are a counselor in an after school drop-in center. You have known 16-year-old Anthony for about a year, as he regularly comes to the center to play basketball and video games with his friends. You have noticed that he has been coming in less frequently in the last two months and, when he is at the center, he is quiet and appears angry or sad. One afternoon, Anthony tells you that his parents are divorcing and his father is moving out of state. He says he feels like his world is falling apart and he might be better off dead.
