Everyone can take part in whichever way
makes most sense.Your activity may be
private, for example, initiating a conversation
with someone you are worried about or
sharing a message of hope with someone
who is struggling; or it may be public, for
example posting a video message for local or

like them to take on this issue.

13. Suicide and mental illness
What do we know
Adolescents at increased risk of suicide have increased
suicidal ideation, anxiety, agitation and sleep
disturbance, difficulty with adapting to new situations,
associated alcohol and drug use, peer victimization and
increased prevalence of sexual and physical trauma
(King et al. in press).
This highlights the need for collaboration among policy
makers, schools, housing and healthcare providers to
develop a holistic approach to identify and respond to
suicidal ideation in the adolescent population.
Education about the safe use of social media and
protection of the young from cyberbullying and
exposure to inappropriate and inaccurate advice is of
increasing importance.
