RISK FACTORS FOR YOUTH SUICIDE Risk factors for suicide refer to personal or environmental characteristics that are associated with suicide. The social cultural as well as physical environment. People affected by one or more or these risk factors may have a greater probability of suicidal behavior. Some risk factors can not be changed - such as a previous suicide attempt - but they can be used to help identify someone who may be vulnerable to suicide. There is no single, agreed-upon list of risk factors. The list below summarizes the risk factors identified by the most recent research. Behavioral Health Issues/Disorders
Depressive disorders Substance abuse or dependence (alcohol and Other drugs) Conduct /disruptive behavior disorders Other disorders (e.g., anxiety disorders, personality disorders) Previous suicide attempts Self-injury (without intent to die) Genetic/biological vulnerability (mainly abnormalities in serotonin functioning, which can lead to some of the
behavioral health problems listed above)
Note: The presence of multiple behavioral health disorders (especially the combination of mood and disruptive behav-ior problems or substance use) increases the suicide risk
Personal Characteristics Hopelessness Low self-esteem Loneliness Social alienation and isolation, lack of belonging Low stress and frustration tolerance Impulsivity Risk taking, recklessness Poor problem-solving or coping skills Perception of self as very underweight or very overweight Capacity to self-injure Perception of being a burden (e.g., to family and friends)
Adverse/Stressful Life Circumstances
Interpersonal difficulties or losses (e.g. breaking up with a girlfriend or boyfriend) Disciplinary or legal problems Bullying, either as victim or perpetrator School or work problems (e.g., actual or perceived difficulties in school or work, not attending school or
work, not going to college) Physical, sexual, and/or psychological abuse Chronic physical illness or disability Exposure to suicide of peer
Risky Behaviors Alcohol or drug use Delinquency Aggressive/violent behavior Risky sexual behavior
Family Characteristics Family history of or suicidal behavior Parental mental health problems Parental divorce
Other items….
Death of parent or Other Problems in parent-child relationship (e.g., feelings of detachment from parents, inability to talk with
family members, interpersonal conflicts, family financial problems, family violence or abuse, parenting style either underprotective or overprotective and highly critical)
Environmental Factors
Negative social and emotional environment at school, including negative attitudes, beliefs, feelings, and interactions of staff and students
Lack acceptance of differences Expression and acts of hostility Lack of respect and fair treatment Lack of respect for the cultures of all students Limitations in school physical environment, including lack of safety and security Weapons on campus Poorly lit areas conducive to bullying and violence Limited access to mental health care Access to lethal means, particularly in the home Exposure to other suicides, leading to suicide contagion Exposure to stigma and discrimination against students based on sexual orientation; gender identity; race
ethnicity; disability; or physical characteristics, such as overweight. Stigma and discrimination lead to: Victimization and bullying by others, lack of support from and rejection by family and peers, dropping out of school, lack of access to work opportunities and health care Internalized homophobia, stress from being different and not accepted. and stress around disclosure of being gay, which can lead to low self-esteem, social isolation, and decreased help-seeking Stæss due to the need adapt to a different Culture. especially reconciling differences between one •s family and the majority culture. Which Can lead to family conflict and rejection

PBIS is a program designed to teach appropriate behaviors. With PBIS appropriate and
acceptable behaviors for stated and taught to students. When students meet the expected
behaviors they are recognized with positive comments. When students are not
demonstrating the expected behavior, the desired behavior is “re-taught” to the student
and if needed, appropriate supports are provided to help the student to be successful with
meeting the desired behaviors.
At CCMS, our general expectations are - Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Safe...Be a
Camel! To further define these expectations, every area of the building (classrooms, hall,
gym, cafeteria, etc.) have specific expectations that are stated in student friendly language
and explained to the students. Expectations for the Classroom are shown below.
Be Responsible, Be Respectful, Be Safe
