Description
Suicide is rare in children under 12, but it occurs with greater frequency in adolescents. The United States and other countries, such as Canada, saw a striking rise in suicide in this age group between the 1950's and the late 70's. The suicide rate in the 1980's and 1990 are of critical concern. While these observations are frightening, something can be done. Schools especially can have a major contribution in saving a life and assisting before, during, and/or after such dire event occurs. The authors affirm that the study suicide trends has an important role in schools. In this volume, they attempt to outline the state-of-the-art of prevention in schools.
