In recent years, suicidal behaviours among young people have become
consolidated as one of the main causes of non-natural deaths in this age
group. This study analyses the prevalence of such behaviours and the
associated risk and protection factors in students aged between 16 and 22
years in Catalonia.
Do adolescents enjoy urban green spaces? According to this study, only
11.6% visit them daily, and those who are more socially vulnerable visit
them less.
After-school socio-educational services are key reference spaces for
children and adolescents in contexts of social vulnerability. Those who
attend feel listened to, respected, and safe; they receive socioemotional
and academic support and present a life satisfaction similar to that of
their peer population. Furthermore, professionals also report high job
satisfaction.
This report analyses how some schools in the Canary Islands (primary
schools) and Catalonia (secondary schools) manage to ensure that their
students make progress beyond expectations, despite social vulnerability.
