First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study trains mental health providers who work with teens involved in the justice system. The goal is to help these teens get better care for suicidal thoughts and self-harm. About 45 providers from 9 agencies will learn a program called COPES. Researchers will check if the training leads to fewer emergency visits and more teens staying in therapy.
