Veterans helping veterans: can shared experience combat suicide?
NCT ID NCT04222673
Summary
This VA study tested a new approach to suicide prevention for high-risk Veterans. It paired Veterans struggling with suicidal thoughts and depression with trained 'Peer Specialists'—fellow Veterans who have faced similar challenges. The goal was to see if this mentorship, focused on building hope, purpose, and community connections, could help reduce suicidal thoughts alongside standard clinical care.
