Episode 244 | Youth Suicide
from Psych Talk · host Dr. Jessica Rabon
September is National Suicide Prevention month and in today's episode of Psych Talk I discuss youth suicide. I start the episode by briefly discussion National Suicide Prevention Month and World Suicide Prevention Day. I then provide some statistics on youth suicidal behavior and deaths in the United States, spending additional discussion on certain subgroups of youth who are at increased risk. I then discuss the rising trend of youth suicide, as well as risk factors, protective factors, and warning signs. I then end the episode by discussing what we can do to help reduce youth suicide.
