Long Summary

This study aimed to develop guidance for family members caring for young people with depressive disorders and suicidal ideations. The findings show that carers focus on adjusting to changes, creating a nurturing environment, supporting medical treatment, and protecting the young person’s safety. The study provides a practical framework for caregivers to enhance support and accompany young people through recovery.

    Key Messages for Carers


  • Providing a stable, nurturing environment and closely monitoring safety are essential in supporting young people with depression and suicidal thoughts.
  • Adapting to changes and assisting with medical treatment enhances the young person’s recovery process.
  • Understanding strategies to manage risks and maintain daily support helps sustain caregiving efforts and improves overall wellbeing.

  • Key Messages for Policy Makers


  • Supporting family caregivers with structured guidance can improve outcomes for young people experiencing depressive disorders and suicidal thoughts.
  • Investment in programs that teach families how to create a safe, nurturing environment and manage treatment processes is critical.
  • Policies should recognise the active role of families in mental health care and provide resources to strengthen caregiver capacity and resilience.
