Tvaersektoriel opfölgning for börn og unge efter et selvmordsforsög - en samarbejdsmodel fra
Region Syddanmark
Sammanfattning
In Denmark children and adolescents who have attempted suicide are not guaranteed follow-up.
A suicide attempt is often due to accumulated psychosocial challenges and follow-up reduces risk of
relapse. Suicidal children and adolescents are in need of interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral help.
Inter-sectoral pathways are often characterized by uncertain and ambiguous areas of responsibility
between the different sectors which may lead to fragmented treatment courses. In the Region of
Southern Denmark an inter-sectoral collaboration, called the Treatment Chain, is established to
ensure follow-up across somatic, psychiatric and municipality departments for children and
adolescents who have attempted suicide. The priority of this collaboration ensures a qualified
follow-up and contributes to clarification of areas of responsibility across sectors.
