Hope in a box: new study aims to prevent suicide with peer support and personal mementos
NCT ID NCT07119671
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a program combining peer support (someone with lived experience of mental health issues) and a 'Hope Box' (a box filled with personal items that bring comfort and hope) can help people hospitalized after a suicide attempt. About 40 patients will receive the program, and researchers will check if it's practical and acceptable, and whether it reduces hopelessness and suicidal thoughts after 3 months.
