Slovakia: 13 child suicides, 15,000 crisis calls expose fragmented mental-health system

Slovak psychologist and IPčko head Marek Madro report 13 completed child suicides, 160+ attempts, and over 15,000 crisis calls in one year, blaming a fragmented rescue system and inaccessible help. The claim is based on expert testimony and NGO data, not official statistics, which the source says are lacking. This highlights a systemic failure in child mental-health care, with implications for public-health policy and resource allocation.
