Society can negatively impact teen suicide rates through both physical and mental challenges. Mentally, society promotes unrealistic standards of beauty and perfection that can lower teens' self-esteem and self-worth. Physically, societal pressures have led to increases in self-harm behaviors like cutting and eating disorders in teens seeking approval. While society influences some suicide factors, individuals must realize their self-worth does not depend on external views and love themselves unconditionally. Overall, the document examines how societal pressures can affect teen suicide rates but also promotes developing self-love to overcome mental health issues.

Suicide Risk Assessment and Intervention Tacticsamberella
Presented at DEF CON 21 (Defcon) in Las Vegas, 2013
This workshop presents evidence based practices to assess suicide risk in others, and an introduction to the step-by-step practice of crisis intervention. Rather than presenting a "depressing discussion of depression," attendees will learn the same threat modeling and crisis response best practices taught to first responders and mental health professionals, in a condensed format that answers many common questions people may be afraid to ask. Special attention will be paid to risk as it affects our particular community, and an overview of crisis network technical implementations / limitations (effects of digital anonymity & ethical concerns, etc.) will be presented.

This slide covers theory and types of suicide, what are the reasons of suicide? What are the impacts of suicide?
