Summary
This study is testing a structured program called SHIELD to help young people aged 15-30 who have suicidal thoughts or self-harm. The program includes 8 weekly sessions tailored by age, focusing on stabilizing daily routines and emotions. Researchers will compare it to usual care and also look at brain scans to see if changes in mood are linked to brain activity.
