Abstract

Suicidality in youth is rarely an individual experience—it unfolds within the family system, shaped by attachment patterns, communication styles, and relational dynamics. This chapter explores how family-based interventions can serve as protective factors, addressing the ways conflict, invalidation, or disconnection contribute to suicide risk.
