Suicide: A Growing Concern for American Youth

According to a 2015 report from the National Institute of Mental Health, approximately 1 in 5 youth aged 13 to 18 years of age experiences a seriously debilitating mental disorder at some point during their adolescence. Troubling statistics from the 2015 Youth Risk Behavior Survey revealed 17% of youth seriously considered suicide in the previous year and more than 14% made a plan. The nation’s youth are suffering with one of the most painful and debilitating illnesses. Depression can leave youth feeling worthless, guilty, and devoid of hope. Mental health is not often a popular topic of conversation due to stigma and fear, leaving students afraid to talk about these serious feelings.

If you do not want your student to participate in the Suicide Prevention Awareness Campaign, please submit your wishes in writing, to your student's school front office.
