Loneliness, inequalities, violence, poverty, unemployment and difficulties in accessing housing are some of the main social factors that increase the risk of suicide. Prevention experts insist on calling for an intervention that extends beyond the health area and involves all areas to strengthen the protection network for vulnerable people.
"Suicide has to do not only with a mental pathology, but also with relational and coexistence situations," warns the General Council of Social Work. For 26 years, Diaconía has offered accompaniment and support to especially vulnerable groups such as women victims of trafficking, immigrants or homeless people.
