Suicide risk is particularly high in adolescence, when many different factors come together to influence mental health
While the teen years involve exciting and fast-paced growth in exploring and refining one’s identity, learning about the world, forming strong social ties, and mastering abstract thought, for many these years can also be quite difficult. Suicide risk is particularly high in adolescence, when many different factors come together to influence mental health. In fact, suicide is the second leading cause of death among people aged 15–19 (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021).
Social workers must be able to recognize and respond to adolescent clients who may be contemplating dying by suicide. Understanding the adolescent’s social environment, developmental stage, mental health history, and bio-psychosocial aspects greatly improves the chance for a successful intervention. So not only must social workers identify the signs, but they must also be able to act on them in a way that addresses the client holistically.
This week, as you close out the course, you consider the reasons, indicators, and interventions surrounding the potential act of suicide—and the positive influence that social workers can have.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has hired you as a consultant to design an auction to sell wireless spectrum rights. The FCC indicates that its goal of using auctions to sell these spectrum rights is to generate revenue. Since most bidders are large telecommunications companies, you rationally surmise that all participants in the auction are risk neutral. Which auction type—first-price, second-price, English, or Dutch—would you recommend if all bidders value spectrum rights identically but have different estimates of the true underlying value of spectrum rights? Develop your response in a 2 to 4 page APA formatted paper.
