Andorra’s Rising Suicide Crisis | Andorra News
Description
Andorra’s emergency services saw a 14% rise in suicide attempts last year, with 123 cases reported — up from 117 — and completed suicides climbing slightly to five. Though still lower than in neighboring France and Spain, the uptick is alarming, especially among young adults aged 18–23, who made up 37% of calls to the Línia Verda helpline. Factors like bullying and social media pressure are fueling this trend. Groups like ADJRA are tackling stigma by running school workshops to boost self-esteem and teach help-seeking skills. The Ministry of Health is rolling out a national strategy with training and awareness campaigns, while early data shows women are increasingly reaching out for support. Together, these efforts aim to break silence, build resilience, and save lives through accessible care and open dialogue.
