Abstract: Yellow September is a campaign aimed at raising awareness about suicide prevention, addressing a significant public health issue. This study analyzed the experience of a psychology internship in the context of the Yellow September campaign, detailing the activities performed, the strategies implemented, and the outcomes achieved, with a focus on promoting mental health and preventing suicide among adolescents in a school environment. The intervention took place at the “Instituto Federal do Pará” (IFPA), under the supervision of the institution's psychologist. A total of 282 high school students from 9 classes participated as part of a series of actions carried out in 2023. The activities included distributing informational cards and texts on digital media, decorating the school environment, handing out pamphlets, and conducting a workshop. The results highlighted: 1) the workshop created an open dialogue space that played a crucial role in identifying warning signs; 2) the importance of the school psychologist's role in suicide prevention; and 3) the intern had the opportunity to apply theory to practice. Promoting mental health in schools is an essential educational commitment to providing primary care and fostering the holistic development of adolescents.
