Can a structured course help people at suicide risk build a personal safety plan?

NCT ID NCT06466356

First seen Jul 21, 2026 · Last updated Jul 22, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial tests a psychoeducational course for people who have recently experienced a suicide attempt or are at high risk. The course teaches participants and their family members to identify personal triggers and early warning signs, and to create an individual safety plan. The study compares this course to a single session focused on safety planning, with both groups also receiving standard care. The main goal is to see if the course improves participants' confidence in handling future suicidal crises.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a psychoeducational course covering suicide-related topics, trigger identification, early warning signs, and individual safety planning, delivered to patients and their next of kin
What this could lead to
If effective, this course could provide a structured, scalable way to help people at risk of suicide recognize warning signs and build a personalized safety plan, potentially reducing future suicide attempts.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with 80 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention adds to standard care, and its benefit over a single safety-planning session alone is uncertain.
