Abstract

Objective: To identify the elements that favor the social support from family and friends to
people with suicidal behavior.
Method: Qualitative study with 18 individuals undergoing therapeutic follow-up in the Center
for Suicide Research and Prevention (NEPS) of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Data was collected from
March to August 2018 and organized based on the Collective Subject Discourse methodology.
Results: The study showed that affectional bonds, previous experiences of mental suffering,
empathy and understanding of suicidal behavior are elements that reflect significant social
support from family and friends.
Final Considerations: Knowledge and use of these elements may support actions for the
prevention of suicide, since health professionals responsible for care to people with suicidal
behavior may develop strategies aimed at strengthening social support.
