Suicide Prevention

Facts:

  • Every 100 minutes a teen takes their own life.
  • Females attempt suicide more than 3 times as often as males; however, males die by suicide more than four times as often as females.
  • Four out of five teens who attempt suicide have given clear warning signs.

The following signs MAY indicate immediate risk:

  • Expressing hopelessness about the future
  • Displaying severe/overwhelming pain or distress
  • Showing worrisome behavioral cues or marked changes in behavior including withdrawal from friends or changes in social activities
  • Anger or hostility
  • Changes in sleep
  • Talking about, writing about, or making plans for suicide
  • Experiencing stressful situations including those that involve loss, change, or create personal humiliation
  • Getting into trouble at home, school, or with the law can act as a trigger for suicide for youth already at risk
