Summary

This study tested a new group program called Project Life Force against standard care for veterans at high risk of suicide. The program helps veterans build and improve their personal safety plans over 10 sessions using skills like emotion regulation and coping. The goal was to see if the group approach reduces suicidal thoughts and behaviors better than individual care alone.
