Synopsis
Suicide rates continue to increase globally. In Singapore, SOS reported in the August 3, 2020, The Straits Times that suicide remains the leading cause of death for people aged 10 to 29, adding that the number of suicides among the 20 to 29 age cohort remains highest compared with other age groups. YWK501 Youth Suicide and Prevention aims to present and share the work of leading researchers and clinicians locally and overseas, by providing a concise review of recent literature, discuss solutions achieved and provide practical guidance for youth care to aid understanding and help prevent suicide. Each lesson provides pertinent information covering aspects of the field, from epidemiology and theories of causation through to treatment and prevention. This course will educate practitioners working with youths and other health care workers, as well as providing a pathway for graduate students interested in furthering their understanding of the complexities surrounding suicide.
