Identify and Act on Suicidal Behavior
Suicide is a huge social and public health problem. One of key approaches
to suicide prevention is collaboration and education with gatekeepers and
psychologists are among them. It’s important that gatekeeprs have a feel-
ing of competence and necessary knowledge to intervene in case of sui-
cide risk. Among competencies that are of most importance to psycholo-
gists in case of suicide risk are: identification of suicide risk, how to pose
a question on suicidal tendencies, perform a risk assesment and offering
professional help. It’s important that psychologists are informed about sui-
cide warning signs as this enables on time identification of those at risk.
In the phase of intervention it’s of outmost importance that professionals
are aware and accept the boundires of personal resposibility and do not get
frightened once they’ve identified those feelings since this can obstruct in-
tervention. Understanding the Question-Persuade-Reffer approach can be
helpful when structuring intervention or risk management as well as collab-
oration with other professionals. Last but not least it’s important that psy-
chologists understant the bereavement process after suicide which among
other includes also offering support. In this regard the Model of Growing
flower can be helpful to understand the social context of mourning, espe-
cially when mourning after suicide of a belowed one (integration of events,
rituals, expressing one’s emotions in the family or broader environemnt).
