This manual has been written for people who want to develop and implement suicide prevention programs. The authors have done their best to present this information in a positive, culturally respectful and straightforward way. Take what you can, modify it so it is more likely to work for you. It is important to note that this manual is only able to focus on the first important stage of addressing the suicide problem: prevention. It is hoped that future manuals might address later stages such as crisis management, treatment, and postvention.

Documentary about depression, available free on streaming video. "Statistics reveal that depression in children and youth is on the rise. In fact, it has increased by one-third in the past 30 years. Untreated depression costs a teenager in many ways: lost educational opportunities, lost social opportunities and lost time. Through the personal stories of three young people, this compelling documentary traces the journey of depression, from early signs and symptoms, to assessment, diagnosis and treatment. The documentary also helps shatter some stereotypes.
