Helping Youth to
BE THE CHANGE
Suicide
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among youth between the ages of 10 and 24
Attempts
There are 25 attempts by youth for every successful youth suicide in the United States
Mental Health
1 in 4 youth age 3 to 24 have been diagnosed with a mental illness in the United States.
Solution
The majority of individuals who die by suicide were undiagnosed with a mental illness. In order to combat suicide, we need to make mental health classes available to everyone.
Schism Ministry has a fully proactive approach to combating suicide. The mission of our ministry is to Inform the Community about the suicide epidemic among youth, Educate the Community on how they can help, and implement our program of suicide prevention across all organizations.
Our organization has several initiatives including our Peer-Prevention Program, our Kindness Project, and Our Facilitators course.
