Mixed-method Evaluation of a Parental Psychoeducation Programme in a Suicide Risk Prevention Group

The number of emergency consultations for children and adolescents for suicidal ideation and suicide attempts has been rising steadily since 2010, and even more so since 2020. In addition, 30% of children and adolescents who have committed a suicidal act reoffend within the year.

Psycho-education programmes for patients have been shown to be effective in a large number of psychiatric pathologies. The programs of psychoeducation for the caregivers of these patients have them also shown their effectiveness, however to date there is no parental psychoeducation program group, for the prevention of the suicidal risk of children and adolescents, which is validated. The service of child psychiatry at the Robert Debré hospital built a program for this purpose, according to current data from the science and has been offering it for 6 months to parents of patients who consulted for suicidal ideation. Rate this program through the description of its implementation would allow it to be validated, this in a dissemination objective. This validation through a mixed method would also allow us to describe the experience participants in this program and to understand improvements Track.
