were collected from WordPress and subjected to thematic analysis. The access metrics
were obtained by Google Analytics.
Results
The development of the website contains systematically planned steps to meet international
recommendations. In the initial six months of the site, there were 64,628 views and
18,161 sessions from different countries. The main themes posted by users were “Life
and what gives it meaning”, “Love, comfort and acceptance”, “Self-knowledge, authenticity
and transformation” and “Overcoming, altruism and transcendence”.
Conclusions

requirements for online and community suicide prevention. The study was approved by
