Teen Suicide Prevention - We Can Help Us :30

Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death among youth 15-24 following accidents and homicide. Moreover, for every completed suicide by youth, it is estimated that 100-200 attempts are made. While causes of suicide vary, these tragic occurrences are preventable. Many teens face tough challenges, ranging from family conflict or relationship problems to mental health problems like self-harm and depression. All these and more can escalate to situations where teens consider ending their own lives, but with support and the right resources, troubled teens can be empowered to start the process of coping.

The PSA campaign begins with the insight that many teens encounter the same tough times, but many also develop positive solutions to help them get past them. The WeCanHelpUs campaign tells teens that whatever their problem, there is a way to get through it. Viewers are directed to visit http://www.reachout.com where they can view and listen to stories from teens that have been there and made it.
