TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Mobilizing extension for youth suicide prevention using the Signs of Suicide (SOS) program JO - Journal of extension A1 - Jacobs, B. A1 - Beam, L. SP - EP - VL - 46 IS - 1 N2 - From 2000 to 2004 (the latest year for available data), the number of 11-19 year olds taking their own lives across the U.S was equivalent to five suicides each and every day. While youth suicide prevention has not been a traditional purview of Extension, Extension has a unique and powerful opportunity to help prevent youth suicides by working with schools to implement an evidenced-based program called the "Signs of Suicide" (SOS) program. While school counselors, nurses, and/or social workers present the actual SOS program to students, Extension specialists and agents can help schools facilitate SOS program planning and implementation.
