Students meet to prevent youth suicides

The Suicide Prevention Intervention Coalition for Youth, also known as SPICY held a conference for high school students this morning at the Lake Charles Civic Center. The students are participated in suicide prevention educational activities.

It was a year ago that a child took his own life at a Lake area school. Now his mother is speaking out hoping to prevent others from having to suffer through the same tragedy.

The statistics are startling. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among those fifteen to 24 years old... And the second leading cause of death among college students. - KPLC 7 News
