Summary

This study tests a 90-day program called Caring Connections for youth aged 13-19 who are at high risk for suicide. The program helps them stay engaged with mental health services, create safety plans, and build a support network. Researchers will compare 40 youth who receive the program with 40 who get usual care to see if it reduces suicidal thoughts and attempts.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Caring Connections care coordination intervention
What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide an effective, culturally adapted program to reduce suicide risk and improve engagement with mental health services for high-risk youth.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study (80 youth) testing feasibility, not effectiveness. Results may not generalize, and the intervention may not reduce suicidal thoughts or behaviors more than usual care.
