Summary
This study tests whether a single 30-60 minute Crisis Response Planning (CRP) session can reduce suicide risk in 120 active-duty military personnel who have had a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Participants will be randomly assigned to CRP or usual care, and researchers will track changes in hopelessness, suicidal thoughts, and other mental health measures over time. The goal is to see if this brief, talk-based intervention can be an effective second step in suicide prevention for this high-risk group.
