(Hawton, 1986). Whether or not the social worker decides to deal with the patient it is essential that he/she find the appropriate help for the individual. I believe time is very crucial for a person considering suicide, and that they should get immediate attention.
CONCLUSION
Suicide is an act where one intentionally ends his/her own life. Suicide has increased tremendously over the past couple decades among adolescents. This could be the result of the many stresses that young people have to deal with in their life. Weather if it is the result of coming from a broken home with alcoholic parents, or the stresses of just being a young adult, social workers today must effectively intervene to help these adolescents effectively deal with their problems. There are many methods and reasons for suicides, but the underlying factor is that children who have suicidal thoughts, behaviours and acts are trying to tell someone something, and they are looking for answers and solutions to questions and problems (Crow, 1987).
