Background: Parents of adolescents with suicide attempts experience psychological distress and often request support. This may be provided through web-based psychoeducation. Aim: To examine the feasibility, acceptability, and use of a psychoeducation website for parents. Method: In a Danish feasibility trial, parents accessed a website during 2023-2024 and completed self-report measures on usage and satisfaction. Results: Among 29 enrolled parents, most visited the website once or twice, usually for less than one hour. Text-based information and video clips were rated as most useful. While around half of the participants indicated that the website did not fully meet their needs, most would recommend it to others. Limitations: Small sample size. Conclusion: The website was accessed and used, although many parents may need additional professional support.
