Objective: To identify adolescents in situations of social vulnerability who have suicidal ideation. Method: Quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study, carried out with adolescents, aged 12 to 18 years, in a situation of social vulnerability and who are part of a Non-Governmental Organization. For data collection, the following instruments were used: structured questionnaire and Columbia Suicide Risk Assessment Scale. Results: Most adolescents are female, live in families with an average of five people, with an income of up to one minimum wage. Among the interviewees, 17 adolescents stated that they never wished to be dead or never thought about killing themselves, while 13 revealed the presence of suicidal ideation. All adolescents interviewed live in families with an average of five people, with an income of up to one minimum wage and more than 50% of the adolescents answered that their parents are married or have a stable union. Most of those responsible have incomplete elementary education and 15% of them are unemployed. Conclusion: In view of the seriousness of the theme, it is necessary to think of effective interventions that can detect the presence of suicidal ideation in adolescents early.
