Attempted Suicide of a Minor as a Result of Domestic Violence

The article focuses on the current issue of domestic violence, which leads to suicide attempts among adolescents. Family and household conflicts occurring in the family destructively affect the child and lead to a loss of emotional stability, to negative thoughts and, as a result of the untimely inclusion of special services in this process, to the facts of suicide among minors.

The difficulty lies in the absence of a legislated mechanism of socio-legal protection against domestic violence and the identification of adolescents who have fallen into a difficult life situation. The article raises the question of the possibility of introducing suicidal services into the practice of preventive work, which would change these facts for the better and reduce the percentage of suicides among adolescents who find themselves in a psychological and emotional impasse. The study could be useful for lawmakers and professionals with experience working with individuals who have attempted suicide.
