Additionally, social media use, academic pressure, and a lack of mental health resources can make the situation worse. Therefore, early intervention, emotional support, and access to mental health care and resources are crucial for preventing suicides and improving outcomes for at-risk children and adolescents.

Parents and teachers should be aware of a few warning signs that could indicate a child or adolescent is at risk for suicide. While not all of these signs mean a child is suicidal, they should prompt concern and action, such as having open conversations with the child or adolescent or seeking professional help.
