Summary
This study tests a short program to prevent suicide in teenagers who face extra challenges, like being in detention, struggling in school, or dealing with mental health issues. Researchers will measure if the program helps teens understand suicide better and feel less distressed. The goal is to find better ways to support those most at risk.
