“Right Now!” by Suzanne K. Oliver is a Compassionate, Research-Based Guide to Saving Lives
Fresno, CA – With suicide now one of the leading causes of death among individuals aged 10–34 in the U.S., families are desperate for clear guidance and actionable tools. In her powerful new book, Right Now! Practical Strategies for Anxiety, Depression, and Suicidal Thinking, author and mental health advocate Suzanne K. Oliver delivers both, along with a message of hope.
Drawing from her own experience of losing her 21-year-old son and husband to suicide, Oliver has written a deeply personal and resource-rich guide for anyone seeking to prevent such tragedies. Unlike books that speak only to professionals, Right Now! Is written for families, friends, and caregivers, those on the frontlines of mental health support.
“When someone you love says they do not want to live, you panic. You feel powerless,” Oliver says. “I wrote this book to show people they are not powerless. There are steps they can take, right now, that could save a life.”
Spotlight on Suicide Prevention
The book features a dedicated section on the warning signs of suicide, including emotional and behavioral red flags such as:
- Talking about wanting to die
- Increased substance use
- Withdrawal from social activity
- Sudden mood changes
- Giving away possessions or tying up loose ends
Suzanne also lists over two dozen national and international suicide crisis resources, including:
- 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (U.S.)
- Trevor Project for LGBTQ+ youth
- Veteran Crisis Line
- State-by-state mental health hotlines
Additionally, the book offers scripts and conversation tips for families who are not sure how to talk to someone who may be suicidal.
A Holistic Toolbox for Healing
What sets Right Now! Apart is its whole-person focus. The book is divided into three sections, Mind, Body, and Spirit, with practical, evidence-backed strategies for each. These include:
- Psychotherapy options like CBT and EMDR
- Nutrition and supplements for mood regulation
- Grounding, mindfulness, and energy-based practices
- Tools for emotional recovery like forgiveness, gratitude, and self-affirmations
Each chapter gives caregivers and loved ones a better understanding of how to support a person in crisis, even when they do not know where to begin.
