Intervention Program with Social Support to Reduce Suicidal Behavior in Adolescents

Abstract

The intervention programme for adolescents with suicidal behaviour is based on social support to prevent suicides among individuals aged twelve to eighteen residing in the therapeutic centre RECURRA GINSO. It is a quasi-experimental design utilizing pre-post mean tests: the Beck Depression Inventory, the Beck Scale for Suicidal Ideation, the Steger's Meaning in Life Scale, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Expected outcomes include reducing suicidal behaviour, levels of depression and anxiety, and increasing self-esteem, social support, and the search for meaning in life.
