Too Young To Die
In America, suicide is the third leading cause of
death for people 15 to 24 years of age. Nearly all
people (90%) who die by suicide have a diagnosable
psychiatric disorder (clinical or manic depression)
that is treatable. Suicidal teens give warning of
their intentions, so the most effective way to
prevent a friend or loved one from taking their life
is to recognize when someone is at risk, take the
warning signs seriously and know how to respond.
"Too Young To Die" was created by Deep Elm and its
Artists to provide education, increase recognition
and prevent youth suicide.

Youth Suicide Prevention School-Based Guide
The Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health
Institute at the University of South Florida,
(funded by the Institute for Child Health Policy at
NOVA Southeastern University), has produced "The
Youth Suicide Prevention School-Based Guide",
designed to provide accurate, user-friendly
information. The Guide is not a program but a tool
that provides a framework for schools to assess
their existing or proposed suicide prevention
efforts (through a series of checklists) and
provides resources and information that school
administrators can use to enhance or add to their
existing program. First, checklists can be completed
to help evaluate the adequacy of the schools'
suicide prevention programs. Second, information is
offered in a series of issue briefs corresponding to
a specific checklist. Each brief offers a rationale
for the importance of the specific topic together
with a brief overview of the key points. The briefs
also offer specific strategies that have proven to
work in reducing the incidence of suicide, with
references that schools may then explore in greater
detail. A resource section with helpful links is
also included. The Guide will help to provide
information to schools to assist them in the
development of a framework to work in partnership
with community resources and families.
The guide is available on-line at:
Youth Suicide Prevention School-Based Guide, and
allows viewers to click on any of the 26 sections,
to read or download - one section at a time. Or you
may choose to download the complete .pdf book
(3.4Meg - 166 pages) at: Complete Guide
