First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study collects feedback from adults aged 18 and older who have used the Think Life online self-help course, a free program designed for people experiencing suicidal thoughts. The course includes six modules based on cognitive behavioral therapy and related approaches. Participants complete a one-time questionnaire about their satisfaction, the course's usability, and its content. The goal is to understand what users find helpful or challenging, which can guide future improvements.
