Developing a Recovery-Oriented Suicide Prevention Program for Young People at Clinical High Risk for Psychosis

10 augusti 2026 uppdaterad av: Samantha A. Chalker, University of California, San Diego

Development of a Recovery-Oriented Suicide Prevention Intervention With Peers for Clinical High Risk for Psychosis

Young people at clinical high risk for psychosis are more likely to experience suicide thoughts than the general population, but there are few suicide prevention programs designed specifically for them. This study will develop and evaluate a recovery-oriented suicide prevention group program for young people at clinical high risk for psychosis.

The program will be led by a clinician and a peer with lived experience. It will help participants identify reasons for living, build hope, set meaningful recovery goals, strengthen social connections, and learn strategies to better remember and use suicide prevention strategies developed during the program. Caregivers will also be invited to participate in a session to learn ways to support their young person.

The study will first gather feedback from participants, caregivers, clinicians, and community advisors to refine the program. Researchers will then compare the program plus standard care with standard care alone to determine whether it improves personal recovery and increases participants' ability to remember and use suicide prevention strategies. Researchers will also collect feedback from participants and program staff to better understand how the program can be integrated into early psychosis services.

Studieöversikt

Detaljerad beskrivning

Young people at clinical high risk for psychosis experience elevated rates of suicide thoughts and behaviors, yet there are few suicide prevention interventions designed specifically for this population. This study will develop and evaluate a recovery-oriented suicide prevention group intervention that integrates peer support with clinician-led care and is designed for implementation within early psychosis services.

This hybrid type 1 effectiveness-implementation study will be conducted over approximately three years at two early psychosis programs. During the first phase, the intervention will be refined through input from young people with lived experience, caregivers, clinicians, and community advisors, followed by an open trial to evaluate feasibility, acceptability, fidelity, and any additional adaptations needed before broader evaluation.

The second phase will consist of a pilot randomized controlled trial comparing the intervention plus standard care with standard care alone. The study will examine preliminary effects on personal recovery and participants' ability to remember and use suicide prevention strategies.

The final phase will evaluate factors that may influence future implementation of the intervention in routine early psychosis services. Interviews with participants and program staff will be used to identify barriers and facilitators to implementation and to inform resources that support future adoption and sustainability if the intervention proves promising.

The program will be led by a clinician and a peer with lived experience. It will help participants identify reasons for living, build hope, set meaningful recovery goals, strengthen social connections, and learn strategies to better remember and use the suicide prevention strategies developed during the program. Caregivers will also be invited to participate in a session to learn ways to support their young person and promote recovery and stability. This program will be in addition to standard coordinated speciality care for early psychosis.
