Interventions
SAFETY-A is a single session collaborative, strengths-based, developmentally nuanced, cognitive-behavioral intervention (CBT) to increase safety and mental health treatment initiation. The therapist works with the youth and family (or significant other, SO) separately and together to build hope and reasons for living, develop a personal safety plan, increase protective supports; and increase motivation for and linkage to treatment.
COMB, includes SAFETY-A within usual ED care plus CLASP therapeutic and caring follow-up contacts designed to strengthen safety and treatment initiation and engagement. Core functions of CLASP include: building hope/reducing hopelessness; enhancing social/family support; strengthening problem-solving; and increasing treatment initiation and engagement.
