Summary
This study tests whether a structured writing program can help reduce suicidal thoughts in teens and young adults aged 13 to 24 who have experienced suicidal thoughts, attempts, or self-harm. Participants will be randomly assigned to either receive the writing program plus their usual care, or usual care alone. The writing program involves guided activities several times a week for 4 weeks, each taking about 15 to 20 minutes, focusing on emotions and personal experiences. Researchers will measure changes in suicidal thoughts, depression, and impulsivity over 8 weeks.
