Stakeholders in suicide prevention adopt WHO guidelines on media reporting

Stakeholders are promising to do more in the area of suicide prevention, especially child suicide, as they have, for the first time, developed a scorecard tool for media reporting on suicide. A stakeholder-consultative meeting also adopted the latest World Health Organization recommendations for media reporting on suicide. According to the WHO, there is a direct correlation between media reports about people who die by suicide and subsequent additional suicidal acts. This, they hope, will go a long way toward positively impacting preventive suicide. According to the World Health Organization, at least 700,000 people die annually due to suicide.
