I’m saddened to see that the statistics show a growing trend, but I’m curious why the amount of attempts have increased so much, yet the deaths did not increase proportionally to the attempts? I hope that the reason is because suicide attempts are being more talked about and focused on than before, rather than there being an actual increase in attempts. Though it’s probably a bit of both?
Edit:
I can’t seem to find any direct links in the article to the sources it talks about?Just a guess, but attempts grew a lot during Covid. A lot of social networks fell apart during Covid.
I can’t seem to find any direct links in the article to the sources it talks about?
Police recorded 161 suicide deaths among people aged 7 to 18 in 2025, up from 127 a year earlier, according to figures obtained by the mental health foundation GrowSPACE.
While not stated directly, it seems clear that the numbers for attempts come from GrowSPACE
And I tried to look up GrowSPACE, and found only more articles stating the same things, but none still with linked sources?
