Summary

This study aims to develop and pilot a digital version of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) specifically for suicide prevention in Chinese-speaking adults. Researchers are working with people who have experienced suicidal thoughts to design the program, then testing whether it is feasible, usable, and acceptable. The goal is to create a scalable mental health tool that could reach more people in need.
