In this month’s episode our host Janet Morrison talks about Teen Suicide. According to the Canadian Mental Health Association, approx. 500 Canadian Youth ages 10–24 die by suicide each year and it is the second most common cause of death in 15–19 year olds after accidents.

In this episode, Janet shares behaviours that teens may display when they are struggling and considering suicide and the top predictors of suicidal behaviour.
