Summary

This study tests a new program where a community support group (Samaritans of Boston) reaches out weekly by call or text to people who recently left the ER for suicidal thoughts. The goal is to see if this extra support is practical and helpful. About 20 adults will take part for 12 weeks, answering questions about their feelings and coping strategies.
