2--MAY 17,2017 GOLDENDALE, WASHINGTON Results from latest Healthy Youth, Survey (HYS), taken in the fall of 2016 by tweens and teens in Washington, shows that one in five high school students seriously consid- ered suicide in the past 12 months. During the past decade, there has been a 6 percent- age point rise in 8th and 10th graders in our state who have contemplated suicide and an 8 percent- age point increase in 12th graders• "This is an alarming trend," said Gov. Jay Inslee. "Suicide can be prevented if we know what signs to look for. We must educate ourselves as parents, grandparents and neighbors to let our kids know that they have sup- port and encouragement they need and that we believe, care and support them in every way." Inslee signed an exec- utive order last year that promotes suicide preven- tion training and educa- tion efforts. The survey results show a higher percentage of girls (26 per- cent) think about suicide, with 13 percent attempting today! 509.261.1224 rise in it, compared to 14 percent whom they could turn to. of boys who contemplate However, 11 percent of suicide and 7 percent who youth who have felt sad or attempt it. hopeless for at least two The Department of So- weeks in a row said they cial and Health Services don't have anyone they (DSHS) supports men- would talk to. tal health treatment for Parents and other youth and adults.
