It was over a decade ago when Regina Crider's daughter first attempted suicide at age 10. "As a mom, the thought of losing your child to suicide is overwhelming," says Crider, who is the founder and executive director of Youth and Family Alliance, a support group for families of youth with mental illness in Rantoul, Ill. Crider was upset and confused and felt that she had failed as a mother. "I felt like maybe I missed the signs," she says. "Because I work with families, why didn't I see it?"
