In 2002, suicide was the third leading cause of death among our nation's adolescents. Additionally, non-lethal suicide attempts and suicide ideation increase the magnitude of this problem. For example, the 2005 Youth Risk Behavior Survey found that almost 17% of students (nearly 1 in 5) had seriously considered attempting suicide during the past 12 months.

It is important for those who work with youth to recognize who is at risk for suicide, know the warning signs, and be familiar with strategies and programs which address teen suicide. The September 2006 issue of The Prevention Researcher provides all of this information. Additionally, in response to questions frequently asked about teen suicide, this issue also delves into the unique needs and experiences of Native American youth, and gay and lesbian youth.

Self-Injury and Suicide Bundle

Adolescents have high rates of both suicide and non-suicidal self-injury. While self-injury is not a suicide attempt (and vice versa), the behaviors have a complex relationship. At the same time, many people who work with youth have difficulty distinguishing between the two. This bundle includes information specifically about suicide and self-injury, so that those who work with youth will be better able to provide prevention and intervention, as well as support youth and their families through these difficult times. All for only $24.00
