Study About Group and Phone Follow-Up After a Crisis
University of Rochester
100 participants
Apr 18, 2024
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
Crisis stabilization centers (CSCs) provide a less costly and more comfortable alternative to Emergency Department care for individuals with suicidal crises. With demand for crisis alternatives growing, effective interventions that fit the unique workflows and workforce of CSCs are needed to realize their life-saving potential. To address this need, the investigators will adapt, and pilot test the effectiveness of an interpersonally enhanced recovery and follow-up intervention delivered during and after admissions acute suicidal crises.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Admission to CSC with suicidal crisis, as defined by active suicide ideation ascertained by the Columbia Suicide-Severity Rating scale, which the sites already routinely administer.
- Ability and willingness to provide information for and permission to contact one person in case of emergency or inability to reach the participant for follow-up
Exclusion Criteria4
- Under age 18.
- Inability to communicate with the researcher in English.
- Acute psychiatric instability (e.g., psychotic symptoms). Most patients with psychosis are transferred to Emergency Departments instead of CSCs, so we do not expect many exclusions based on this criterion.
- Inability to access a phone to participate in phone follow-up program.

Interventions
THRIVE is an interpersonally focused recovery and care transition program. THRIVE (previously called "RELATE" in our SAMHSA grants) involves engaging a person during and following acute suicidal crisis in a sequence of interpersonally focused therapeutic tasks. The purpose of THRIVE is to help CSC guests re-build connections and "contribute" to the world in ways they find personally meaningful, while also transitioning safely to outpatient, community-based care. THRIVE involves a Belonging and Giving Reflections Group while at the CSC, followed by a 4-week, phone-based, recovery and care transition series of coaching calls.
* A written safety plan completed with the person * Mental health appointment scheduled within seven days * One phone follow-up call within 30 days
