ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE: To analyze conceptual aspects, vulnerability and protective factors, assessment, support and psychological interventions related to suicidal behavior, self-harm and risk behaviors, emphasizing adolescents, men and family support. METHODS: Narrative literature review based on institutional documents, clinical guidelines and scientific studies on suicide prevention, self-harm, mental health, masculinities, adolescence and family care. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: The literature indicates that suicidal behavior is multidetermined and requires contextual assessment, nonjudgmental listening, safety planning, structured interventions and intersectoral coordination. In adolescence, family bonds and school and digital experiences should be considered; among men, sociocultural barriers to expressing distress and seeking help require attention. Relatives also need support and guidance, without being held responsible for preventing every crisis. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Prevention requires continuous, ethical and integrated care that combines life protection with the reconstruction of autonomy, relationships and everyday projects.
