Youth Suicide Prevention

Children and teens worry. A lot. Sometimes it gets so bad they want to end their lives.

Here are some contributing factors:

• A recent or serious loss, including a breakup, parent divorce or death of a loved one. 
• Lack of social support from friends or family.
• Being a victim of in-person or cyberbullying, racism, sexual or physical assault.
• A family history of suicide, mental illness, addiction disorder or abuse.
• Struggling with sexual orientation.
• Societal, cultural or religious stigma related to asking for help.
• Access to lethal means.
