СЕЛЕКТИВНАЯ ПРОФИЛАКТИКА СУИЦИДАЛЬНОГО ПОВЕДЕНИЯ У НЕСОВЕРШЕННОЛЕТНИХ РЕСПУБЛИКИ САХА (ЯКУТИЯ)

Abstract

The article discusses the conditions and forms of selective prevention of suicidal behavior in minors living in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Recently, theWHO approved a new classification for the prevention of mental disorders. There are 3 types of prevention in this classification: universal, focused on the initial prevention of mental disorders, and aimed at the entire population. This form corresponds to the previous concept of primary prevention. The next type is selective prevention aimed at risk groups (previously not separately allocated). Indicative prevention corresponds to the previous concept of tertiary prevention. Selective prevention from this classification was first applied by us in relation to the prevention of suicidal behavior. This selective prevention is aimed at adolescents who are at increased risk of suicide in biological, psychological, or socio-economic terms. The article presents a profile of a modern minor suicidal person in the North: a boy from among the representatives of the indigenous population with anxious and suspicious character traits, most often coming from an incomplete family. The content of selective prevention is revealed: it is a psychological correction of the emotional and personal sphere of children and adolescents to reduce anxiety, increase self-confidence, correct self-esteem and the level of claims. For psychological correction, it is recommended to use such behavioral therapy methods as game psychotherapy, assertiveness training, life skills training, and male mentoring.
