Fresno County officials are gathering a multiagency task force of school districts, mental health professionals, and other health care organizations. Through Community Conversations, a mental health steering committee, this task force will discuss what the community can do together on teen-suicide prevention and awareness.
Valley Children’s Hospital will host a public forum at the Madera campus – free for anyone to attend.
In 2016, Fresno County experienced the tragedy of 12 teen suicides, including the recent loss of multiple teens from Clovis West High School. Our community grieves every single one of them.
Teen suicide is now the second leading cause of death in youth ages 10-24 nationwide.
