First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a program called Youth-Nominated Support Team for Probation (YST-P) for teens aged 12-17 who are on probation and have suicidal thoughts or behaviors. The program connects them with supportive adults to reduce suicide risk and encourage them to get mental health treatment. About 40 teens will participate, and researchers will compare their progress to similar teens who did not receive the program.
