textitEnd Your Silence, Not Your Life: A suicide prevention campaign for women of Turkish origin in Berlin

Résumé

In this chapter, the author presents a specific intervention concept for a minority group. Since Turkish female immigrants are at special risk for suicidal behavior, there is a great need in Europe for cultural sensitivity and culturally competent treatment concepts in mental health-care services for this group. The author describes a culture-sensitive public awareness suicide prevention campaign that was developed and conducted for this group in Berlin, Germany, entitled "End Your Silence, Not Your Life." A detailed report on the contents and evaluation of the campaign is given. The campaign was a part of a multimodal intervention study aiming to improve the care-seeking behavior of women of Turkish origin in suicidal crises.
