This comprehensive book delves into the current epidemiology of suicide among children and adolescents, shedding light on the significant risk factors and evidence-based treatment options available. To achieve this, the book is structured into two major sections: the first explores the contributing factors to the emergence of child and adolescent suicide, while the second focuses on evidence-based treatment approaches.

Throughout the chapters, researchers extensively discuss various risk factors, including anxiety, sleep problems, child sexual abuse, and violence perpetration. They conclude their discussions by exploring treatment considerations such as the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) and safety planning.

The overwhelming conclusion drawn from this body of work is a pressing need to enhance our understanding and effectively address child and adolescent suicide. This book will serve as an invaluable resource for academics, researchers, advanced students, and professionals in the fields of Psychology, Psychiatry, Medicine, Sociology, Social Work, and Youth Studies.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Children's Health Care, further emphasizing its significance and relevance to the field.
