Description
In this month’s episode, our host Janet Morrison talks about Teen Suicide. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, approx. 500 Canadian Youth ages 10–24 die by suicide each year and it is the second most common cause of death in 15–19 year olds after accidents. We need to talk about suicide in order to address it, understand it to get to the root of the problem. In this episode, Janet shares behaviours that teens may display when they are struggling and considering suicide and the top predictors of suicidal behaviour. If you’d like to learn more on the subject, please read our blog on Teen Suicide or visit our website for more information.
