 Suicide and suicidal behavior among youth and young adults is a major public health crisis. Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among young people 10-24 years of age in the United States (US), and rates have been rising for decades. Youth and young adults should grow, thrive, and live long, healthy lives. However, among youth in the US who die, over 25% die from suicide. This webinar will discuss the trends and how you can be more aware and recognize warning signs.
