The main goal of this paper, entitled ''Prevention of suicide amongst young LGBT people'', is getting familiar with the phenomenon of suicide amongst young LGBT people and with activities aimed at prevention of aforementioned phenomenon. Focused on educating and raising public awareness of the problem, as well as intended to motivate further research of the topic in academia, this paper presents an overview of contemporary and relevant literature on the topic. The first part of the paper deals with analyzing the mere phenomenon of sucidal behavior: basic terminology; prevalence of suicidal behavior amongst young LGBT people; risk and protective factors, while the second part of the paper concerns prevention of suicidal behavior. Presented prevention analysis deals with prevention in legislation and public policies, education, health care, juvenile justice system, families, LGBT- related organizations, organizations working with children and youth and organizations whose work is aimed at prevention of suicidal behavior. In comparison to non-LBGT youth, young LGBT people have higher levels of suicidal behavior, higher levels of risk factors, more diverse risk factors and lower levels of protective factors - all of which can be explained by stigma, prejudice and discrimination LGBT community faces. Literature on trans* youth is especially rare but available information suggests that trans* youth might experience the highest risk of suicidal behavior. Area that stands out the most when discussing the prevention of suicidal behavior is education, while the area that is suggested should go under most severe changes is the health care system. LGBT-related organizations are places where most young LGBT people come to seek help and support, especially in Croatia where the lack of preventive actions considering young LGBT people is noted. For future actions, further work on development, implementation and evaluation of preventive activities is suggested, as well as including young LGBT population in already existing practices aimed at general population.
