Herb Tannenbaum
 A consulting psychologist in private practice, Dr. Herbert
(“Herb”) Tannenbaum also functions as the executive
director of the Center for Effective Living, which he founded
in 1981. Dr. Herb Tannenbaum counts teen suicide
prevention among his areas of professional focus.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, suicide ranks as the third leading cause of death
for people aged 15 to 24 in the United States, thus making it
a growing source of concern for public health officials and
others. Although most of these deaths can be attributed to
mental illness, environmental and social factors also play a
role. At-risk teens are those predisposed to mental health
and/or substance abuse disorders, and when such disorders
combine with an external factor like the loss of a loved one,
confusion about sexual orientation, or abuse, the risk for
suicide is even higher.
 Research has shown that some programs help
prevent teen suicide, especially when they are able
to screen for risk factors effectively and provide
mental health support quickly. Educating parents
and the general public is also very important, since
these are the people most likely to recognize signs
of suicidal thoughts or behavior and a diagnosis
from a mental health professional might come too
late. There are many mental health services
available to provide help, from local hotlines to
professionals and outreach programs. Although
teen suicide occurs and is a growing concern, it is
also preventable when risk factors are recognized
and resources can be accessed in time.
