Mental Health Awareness Month: Focusing on Suicide Prevention Strategies for our Youth

By: Elinore F. McCance-Katz, M.D., Ph.D., Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use

Given that, we should consider those circumstances and situations that may play a role and are able to be modified. I want to mention two areas that I hope will be given consideration as we try to help our youth to learn alternatives to self-harm.
