About this book

Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among young people, and yet most of us are very reluctant to even broach the subject. This book takes an empathetic and honest look at this serious public health crisis. What causes people to consider taking their own lives? How have societal views of suicide evolved over time? And what can we do to help friends and family members get out of that dark place? Written in accessible, down-to-earth language, the Teen Guides to Health & Wellness present vital information for teens who are learning to take responsibility for their own health decisions. The books are packed with information and "actionable advice" on topics such as anxiety and depression, nutrition and exercise, tattoos and other body modifications, and much more.
