The current times have tested our country’s patience with the number of deaths due to citizens committing suicide. The statistics for the same are disturbing. The literature shows the leading causes to be lack of resilience and cognitive flexibility, self-esteem, problems in emotional regulation, isolation, depression attachment and parenting style, domestic violence, sexuality and the list goes on. This paper targets the solution and not the problem. “Prevention is better than cure”, we have heard, but in the case of suicidal tendencies, we are left with a very limited scope for cure. Prevention and preparedness are the key. The paper provides with the prevention model to be assessed on individuals of age 12-21 by stepping on the different aspects of value education, resilience, motivation, emotional intelligence, attitude formation, substance abuse education, and self-analysis. By this, the foundation of an individual’s mental health would strengthen and hence will the whole individual.
