Suicide Prevention Strategies

Suicide prevention is a critical public health priority, as suicide remains one of the leading causes of death globally, particularly among adolescents and young adults. Effective suicide prevention requires a multifaceted approach that addresses individual, relational, community, and societal factors. Suicide is often the result of complex interactions between mental illness—such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia—psychosocial stressors, substance abuse, trauma, and feelings of hopelessness and isolation. Preventive strategies must therefore be comprehensive, culturally sensitive, and inclusive of evidence-based practices.A key component of suicide prevention is early identification and treatment of mental health conditions. This involves training healthcare professionals, educators, and community leaders to recognize the warning signs of suicidal ideation, such as changes in behavior, withdrawal from social activities, talking about death or self-harm, giving away possessions, or expressing feelings of worthlessness. Implementing screening tools in primary care, schools, and emergency departments can facilitate timely intervention. Access to effective mental health care—including psychotherapy (such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy), psychiatric services, and crisis support—is essential.
