The New Jersey Police Chief Magazine | December 2022 PSAs for Youth Mental Health Supports and Suicide Prevention
According to the World Health Organization , a person dies by suicide every 40 seconds . Every death is a tragedy that is felt by family , friends and entire communities . Every death is preventable .
Youth in New Jersey , and across the country , are experiencing unprecedented mental health challenges related to the pandemic , social justice issues , school and social media pressures , and more . To raise awareness about mental health , to end the stigma associated with needing and accessing help , and to advocate and promote programs , services and strategies that reduce youth suicide , the New Jersey Department of Children and Families has two public service announcements that we are sharing broadly .
We encourage our partners in law enforcement to post these on their departments ’ social media pages and to further share with your communities .
