Inside the Research

People with acquired brain injuries face a higher risk of suicide. Using surveys and interviews, this project will gather insights from individuals with acquired brain injuries, clinicians, and researchers about their experiences and needs in addressing suicidal thoughts, behaviors, and self-injury after brain injury. By collaborating with those who have direct experience, we will develop practical tools for training, assessment, and support, with the goal of improving suicide prevention in this vulnerable and often overlooked group.
