Abstract

Nearly one million people commit suicide each year, which represents a global mortality rate of 16 per 100,000 inhabitants; In other words, a death occurs every 40 seconds. Representing suicide one of the first three causes of death among people aged 15 to 44 in some countries, and the second cause in the group of 10 to 24 years (WHO, 2018). Although traditionally the highest suicide rates have been registered among people over 18, the rates among young people and children have been rising to the point that these are now the highest risk group in a third of the countries, both in the developed world, as in the developing world. In this sense, this article contributes to the reflection and analysis of this phenomenon, particularly in child suicide, which was previously considered “rare” (Durkheim (1965); but at present, it has been increasing in Mexico, which requires the sum of efforts for prevention and care, worse overcomes the participation of social workers since their professional work.
