- Abstract
The role of help and hope as protective factors in prevention and early intervention with suicidal adolescents is examined. Hope is a forward-looking attitude serving as a buffer against suicide. Help reflects the belief and reality that there is a place to turn for support or assistance; it serves as a dynamic force against suicide. Help and hope can be powerful and mutually reinforcing components of any attempt to reach adolescents contemplating suicide. Implications for mental health counselors are presented, with an emphasis on the interrelatedness of help and hope.
