N2  - Suicide is the number one leading cause of death among adolescents aged 10-24 in Oregon, and it continues to be a leading cause of death among adolescents throughout the world. Rates of adolescent suicide are increasing nationally, and suicidal ideation, suicide attempts, and completed suicides are rising above the national average in Oregon. Novel ideas for addressing the issue of suicide are needed. Targeting youth with educational suicide prevention campaigns is one strategy that can have short and long-term effects on reducing the suicide rate. A multi-faceted approach addressing access to mental health services, peer-support, anti-bullying, and risk management including firearm safety, is needed to truly address the growing problem of adolescent suicide and protect our nation?s youth. Utilizing a one-time educational talk for high-school adolescents can normalize discussing mental health and foster open discussions with adolescents. Curriculum defining at risk youth, the warning signs of suicide, and positive outlets for support like peer groups and trusted adults can help address this growing national crisis.
