Suicide is one of the top 20 leading causes of death in the world for all ages [1], the third leading cause of death among people aged 15–44 years, and the second leading cause of death among people aged 10–24 years [2]. These numbers underestimate the problem and do not include suicide attempts which are up to 20 times more frequent than completed suicide [2]. Furthermore, many people who have suicidal thoughts never seek services [3].
