Latinos represent the largest minority group in the county and about 30 percent are under the age of 18. Data tells us that Latinos have a rate of depression that is higher than any other minority group except Native Americans and that Latina youth have a higher rate of suicide ideation and suicide attempt than their white peers. A suicide prevention focus on Latinas requires engaging the community, parents and schools to help reach Latinas and their helpers with a message that they are not alone, are loved and help is available.
