ER-Based counseling aims to curb youth suicide
NCT ID NCT05304065
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of counseling for young people aged 13-24 who come to the emergency room with suicidal thoughts or actions. One approach is a single session called SAFETY-A that involves the youth and their family, and the other adds extra follow-up support. Researchers will track suicide attempts and whether participants start mental health treatment over the next year.

Active substance
counseling sessions (SAFETY-A and CLASP)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a proven way to lower suicide attempts and improve mental health care follow-up for young people after an ER visit.
What could go wrong
This is a Phase 2 trial, so results are still early. The approaches may not work for everyone, and the study only includes English- or Spanish-speaking participants.
