TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Protective factors promoting resilience to suicide in young people and adolescents JO - Papeles del psicólogo : revista del Colegio Oficial de Psicólogos A1 - Sánchez-Teruel, D. A1 - Robles-Bello, M.A. SP - 181 EP - 192 VL - 35 IS - 3 N2 - Suicide in adolescents and young adults has become a public educational and health priority. In this paper, various conceptual questions about suicide are presented, and the protective factors that are associated with suicidal behavior in this population are considered. An overview is provided, based on a review of the studies, on the aspects of resilience that should be promoted to eliminate the negative impact of the adverse situations that arise for young people. Furthermore, we develop guidelines for building resilience, actions that have been proven effective in combating suicide attempts and completed suicide in adolescents and young adults. We produce a profile that includes all of the aforementioned protective aspects that must be taken into account when developing a comprehensive analysis in the context of the quality of life and emotional well-being of this group. © 2014, Papeles del Psicologo.
