For Parents
www.nasponline.org/resources/crisis_safety/suicideprevention.aspx - Suicide is the third leading cause of death among youth between 10 and 19 years
of age. However, suicide is preventable. Youth who are contemplating suicide frequently
give warning signs of their distress. Parents, teachers, and friends are in a key
position to pick up on these signs and get help. Most important is to never take these
warning signs lightly or promise to keep them secret. When all adults and students
in the school community are committed to making suicide prevention a priority—and
are empowered to take the correct actions—we can help youth before they engage in
behavior with irreversible consequences.
