Suicide is the second leading cause of death among adolescents. Between 1981 and 1989, 7% of all those who suicide were children and adolescents aged five to 19 and during that time 16,585 adolescents between the ages of 15 and 19 committed suicide. Written for counselors and middle and high school personnel, this book examines the dynamics of suicide and includes guidelines for early detection of suicidal preoccupation, prevention, and crisis management. Guidelines in this book were developed using the assumptions that personnel working with young people: (1) need information that helps them identify the individuals most at risk for suicide; (2) need to understand the myths and causal factors connected with adolescent suicide; (3) need to be able to recognize the "profile" that identifies individuals most at risk for suicide; and (4) need to be able to use effective techniques to assess and refer suicidal adolescents. Chapters are: (1) Suicide Prevention in the Schools: An Introduction; (2) Suicide Prevention: Getting Started in Your Building or School District; (3) Suicide Prevention: What Faculty and Staff Need to Know; (4) Preparation of Crisis Teams; (5) Individual and Group Counseling Options; (6) Parent Education; (7) Classroom Presentations; and (8) Legal Aspects of Adolescent Suicide Prevention. Most chapters include overhead masters. Contains 118 references. (JBJ)

Every year, about 30,000 people die by suicide in the U.S., and some 650,000 receive emergency treatment after a suicide attempt. Often, those most at risk are the least able to access professional help. Reducing Suicide provides a blueprint for addressing this tragic and costly problem: how we can build an appropriate infrastructure, conduct needed research, and improve our ability to recognize suicide risk and effectively intervene. Rich in data, the book also strikes an intensely personal chord, featuring compelling quotes about people's experience with suicide. The book explores the factors that raise a person's risk of suicide: psychological and biological factors including substance abuse, the link between childhood trauma and later suicide, and the impact of family life, economic status, religion, and other social and cultural conditions. The authors review the effectiveness of existing interventions, including mental health practitioners' ability to assess suicide risk among patients. They present lessons learned from the Air Force suicide prevention program and other prevention initiatives. And they identify barriers to effective research and treatment. This new volume will be of special interest to policy makers, administrators, researchers, practitioners, and journalists working in the field of mental health.
