N2  - INTRODUCTION: The objective of this article is to establish the relationship between the acquisition of social skills and the clinical expression of suicidal ideation and suicide risk in adolescents. <br><br>MATERIALS AND METHODS: The research was conducted following a descriptive and correlational design, in a population of 115 adolescents aged between 12 and 18 years old. The Beck's Hopelessness Scale and the Goldstein Social Skills Test were applied. <br><br>RESULTS: Data showed that there is a significant, inversely proportional correlation between social skills and a lower risk of suicidal symptomatology. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Based on the obtained results it was possible to corroborate how family plays a relevant role in the emotional regulation and in the acquisition of social skills in the individual; it was also possible to sustain that, on the basis of a healthy coping mechanism in vital problrems resolution, the possibility of developing any suicidal expression reduces. © 2019, Universidad del Rosario.
