What this trial studies
This observational study evaluates a parental psychoeducation program designed to support parents of children and adolescents at risk of suicide. The program, developed by the child psychiatry service at Robert Debré Hospital, aims to provide parents with the tools and knowledge necessary to help prevent suicidal ideation and attempts in their children. The study employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative assessments to measure the program's effectiveness, reach, adoption by health professionals, and sustainability. By analyzing the implementation of this program, the study seeks to validate its impact on suicide risk prevention.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are parents of children under 15 years who are fluent in French and willing to participate in all program sessions.
Not a fit: Parents who lack social security coverage or are under guardianship may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly enhance parental support and reduce suicide risk among children and adolescents.
How similar studies have performed: While psychoeducation programs for caregivers have shown effectiveness in various psychiatric conditions, this specific approach for suicide risk prevention is novel and untested.
