Presentation transcript:

In Canada, suicide is among the top causes of death for youth and young adults. For males 15 to 19 years of age, there was a 23% decline in the suicide rate between 2000 and 2009. For females, the suicide rate remained relatively stable over this period.   Implications: Young women attempt suicide more often than young men; however, young men succeed more often than young women.1 Poor mental health has a significant impact on the overall health and well-being of Canadian youth and young adults and can lead to tragic outcomes in this age group.2 1Canadian Institutes of Health Research (2005).
