Summary

This trial tests a family-based, adaptive program for youth aged 8 to 17 who come to the emergency department (ED) with suicidal or self-injurious behavior. The program uses a stepped-care approach, starting with digital psychosocial support and adding text-based communication if needed, to help families engage with community mental health services after discharge. The goal is to see if this tailored intervention is feasible and acceptable, and whether it increases attendance at mental health care and reduces future ED visits.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
A behavioral adaptive intervention combining digital psychosocial support with optional text-based communication, tailored to each family's needs.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a practical, personalized way to connect at-risk youth to mental health care after an emergency visit, potentially reducing repeat visits and suicide risk.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage feasibility study, so it may not show clear benefits. The intervention's success depends on family engagement, which can be unpredictable.
