First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a suicide prevention program called HAVEN-Connect in African American churches. The program teaches youth and adults skills to build supportive relationships, find purpose, and seek help. Researchers will enroll 240 participants from predominantly Black churches to see if the program reduces depression and suicide risk. The goal is to create a culturally relevant approach that can be used in other churches.
