Lo primero que hay que tener en cuenta es que, independientemente de lo veraz que nos
pueda parecer el discurso de alguien que indica su intención de poner deliberadamente en
riesgo su vida o la de otros, debemos priorizar la seguridad y el bienestar del individuo.
Debemos evitar realizar juicios de valor, ignoramos la situación psicológica y social del
individuo, por lo que hemos de actuar siguiendo el protocolo establecido por la empresa
para este tipo de situaciones.
Es preferible ser víctimas de una broma que negligentes ante una tragedia que podría
haberse evitado.
Cuando recibimos la llamada de alguien que hace amenazas de suicidio, tanto si debido a
una mala gestión en el desarrollo de su caso, como si el motivo es ajeno a la empresa, es
crucial que se tomen las medidas inmediatas para abordar esta delicada situación.
The first thing to consider is that, regardless of how truthful the discourse of someone
indicating their intention to deliberately endanger their life or that of others may seem to us,
we must prioritize the safety and well-being of the individual.
We should avoid making value judgments; we are unaware of the psychological and social
situation of the individual, so we must act according to the protocol established by the
company for these types of situations.
It is preferable to be the victim of a joke than to be negligent in the face of a tragedy that
could have been avoided.
● Staff Training: Consider providing additional training to your staff to address crisis
situations and suicide prevention.
● Emergency Protocols: Establish clear and detailed protocols for cases of suicide
threats. Ensure that everyone in the organization is aware of these procedures and
knows how to follow them.
● Internal Communication: Foster a culture of open communication and mutual
support. Encourage employees to immediately report to supervisors or human
resources in the event of an emergency.
● Confidentiality with Limits: Promote confidentiality but also emphasize the
importance of prioritizing the individual's safety and well-being. Set clear boundaries
on when and how to share confidential information with mental health professionals
or relevant authorities.
● Support Resources: Provide detailed information about helplines, counseling
services, and mental health resources to employees so that they can refer affected
individuals to appropriate support sources.
When we receive a call from someone making suicide threats, whether it is due to poor
management in the development of their case or for reasons unrelated to the company, it is
crucial to take immediate action to address this delicate situation.
Remember that the number one priority is the safety and well-being of the
individual.
Do not try to handle this alone.
Dealing with suicide threats is a serious responsibility and must be handled with
the utmost sensitivity and care.
● Stay Calm: It is essential to remain calm and not react with anger or frustration.
Empathy and understanding are crucial in this situation.
● Listen Actively: Allow the person to vent and express their feelings. Listen carefully
without interrupting. This can help calm their initial distress.
● Don't Minimize: Avoid minimizing their distress or making judgments. Don't tell them
that "everything will be fine" right away, as this can seem insensitive. Remember that
the magnitude of a problem is not how we perceive it, but how it affects the person
experiencing it.
● Maintain Communication: Make sure to keep the affected person on the line and
show them continuous support. Do not end the call unless instructed by a supervisor.
● Internal Communication: Alert your supervisors or the team that handles these
types of cases as soon as possible. Confidentiality must be maintained, but safety is
paramount, and it is one of the few exceptions where the GDPR allows data to be
processed by third parties without explicit consent from the individual.
● Offer Professional Help: Suggest to the client that they seek help. Provide telephone
numbers and resources that may be helpful.
● Follow-up: After the call, monitor the case closely, and if there is a direct relationship
between what happened and the customer's case management, make sure to address
the customer's concerns regarding case management.
● Continued Support: Maintain open communication and update the client on the
resolution of their case. Show a real commitment to improving the situation.
