Suicide is a significant public health problem for school age children and adolescents (Granello & Granello, 2007). For youth ages 10 to 14 years old, suicide is the third leading cause of death and the second leading cause of death for persons 15 to 34 years of age (CDC, 2015). Of youth ages 10 to 24 who died in 2013, nearly 17 percent died as a result of suicide (Heron, 2016).
