What are some of the measures suggested by WHO to prevent suicide? What are the approaches that are useful in strengthening positive self-esteem in children?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Suicide prevention is a collection of efforts to reduce the risk of suicide.These efforts may occur at the individual, relationship, community, and society level.Suicide is often preventable.
Beyond direct interventions to stop an impending suicide, methods may include:
treating mental illness
improving coping strategies of people who are at risk
reducing risk factors for suicide, such as poverty
giving people hope for a better life after current problems are resolved
General efforts include measures within the realms of medicine, mental health, and public health. Because protective factors such as social support and social engagement—as well as environmental risk factors such as access to lethal means— play a role in suicide, suicide is not solely a medical or mental-health issue.
