Profilaktyka zachowań suicydalnych u dzieci i młodzieży szkolnej

Abstract

The article aims to present a broad and diverse meaning of suicidal behaviour prevention. Based on the relevant academic literature, the importance of prevention has been shown as well as the application of its assumptions at various levels. Notable attention is given to suicidal behaviours among increasingly young students. Groups of factors influencing suicidal behaviour are identified, with particular emphasis on family, school, biopsychosocial factors as well as addictions. The role of various groups in the process of preventing suicidal behaviour is additionally determined. Finally, the author presents a proposal of actions intended to reduce young people’s negative reactions to difficult situations. The main thesis is to show the key role of preventive care in the process of prevention and minimising suicidal behaviour. For this purpose, the method of document examination is used. The author tries to shed light on the problem in question by means of a literature review, material selection and an analysis of reports and statistics, both national and international.
