This includes awareness of warning signs, such as changes in behavior or mood, and open conversations about mental health. Support from family, friends, and professionals is crucial. Schools and communities can offer resources, counseling, and safe environments where youth feel valued. Effective prevention requires understanding the underlying issues, such as depression and anxiety, and providing access to help. Encouraging healthy coping strategies and resilience can empower adolescents to seek support when needed, ultimately saving lives.
