A global mental health report reveals a troubling pattern: many suicidal teens do not seek help. The finding emphasizes the need for open conversations, stronger school and community support, and easier access to care. In Thailand, stigma around mental health often silences young people, making early intervention essential.

The report highlights that in various regions, including Monroe County, teens contemplating suicide rarely reach out for assistance. While the study focuses on a specific area, its message resonates worldwide. Thailand faces a similar challenge—cultural barriers and uneven resources can delay professional care. Thai educators and health advocates are increasingly stressing proactive outreach to youths across the country.
