Trajectories of Adverse Childhood Experiences and Subsequent Adolescent Suicidal Ideation and Self-Harm
Persistent exposure to adversity across early and middle childhood is strongly associated with self-harm/suicidal ideation in adolescence. Engagement with multiple government agencies provides an opportunity for the early detection of youth at risk of self-harm and suicide, potentially via increased mental health monitoring by (nonhealth) service agencies (e.g., police, child protection, and welfare).
