Abstract

 This article examines the psychological prevention of suicidal behavior in adolescents as a critical issue in modern psychological practice. Adolescence is characterized by emotional instability, identity formation, heightened sensitivity to stress, and vulnerability to social and psychological risk factors. These developmental characteristics increase the likelihood of suicidal thoughts and behaviors if timely preventive measures are not implemented. The article emphasizes the importance of early psychological diagnosis, risk factor identification, and the development of preventive programs aimed at strengthening emotional resilience, adaptive coping strategies, and social support systems. Special attention is given to the role of psychologists in preventive interventions within educational and social institutions. The findings highlight that systematic psychoprophylactic work significantly reduces the risk of suicidal behavior and promotes adolescents’ psychological well-being and healthy development.
