First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests a program called PREVAIL-VA, where trained peer specialists—veterans who have themselves experienced serious mental illness—provide 12 one-on-one sessions over 3 months to veterans at risk for suicide. The goal is to see if this support reduces suicide risk compared to usual care. If successful, it could be widely adopted across VA facilities.
