Abstract

Youth suicide is an important worldwide health issue, and self-injury is one of the top three reasons that make people aged between 15 and 24 die (World Health Organization, 2021). Marginalized and rural communities are especially vulnerable to this problem as poverty; structural inequities and lack of access to mental health services interact to increase risk. Youths in such environments usually face social isolation, mental illness cultural stigma, and broken healthcare systems which may increase psychological distress and undermine protective resources.
