Rates of non-suicidal self-injury has steadily increased among girls in recent years, and suicide remains a leading cause of death among adolescent girls around the world. Existing literature highlights the importance of psychological and environmental risk factors as well as their neurobiological sequelae in conferring risk for suicide during the teenage years (ages 15-19). Extant literature underscores the importance for screening and prevention in preadolescence to capitalize on brain plasticity in order to potentially reverse childhood exposure to maltreatment, for example. Existing, effective interventions can be tailored for preadolescent girls with known risk factors for non-suicidal self-injury and suicide.
