Objectives: To analyze the outcomes of a community-based rehabilitation intervention on loneliness, resilience, depressive symptoms, continuity of care, and psychosocial disability in Colombia. Methods: An analytical, longitudinal, quasi-experimental study was conducted with a pre- and postintervention design on a subsample of 130 individuals with a history of suicide attempt, drawn from a broader group of 622 participants monitored through the surveillance system. Validated instruments were applied to assess loneliness, resilience, depression, continuity of care, and psychosocial disability. Results: The disability model explained 40.1% of the variance in psychosocial disability and the final model explained 12.6% of the total variance. At the intervention level, high to moderate effect sizes were observed across all proposed scales. Conclusions: Psychosocial variables improved through community strengthening, system strengthening, and recognition of human rights. Community-based recovery emerges as a promising approach to addressing the suicide risk through community strengthening, support groups and human rights advocacy
