Abstract

The health of the Nation highlights the need to reduce suicide rates among young people. A multidisciplinary group sought to adopt an approach to promoting mental health which began with young people's own concerns. Via a questionnaire to 80 14-15 year olds the group established that young people had particular worries around self-esteem and self-image, family and personal relationships, loss and bereavement and teacher/parent expectations. These issues are now being addressed within a resource pack soon to be published.
