Inside the Research

Stress Control as a suicide prevention intervention will be evaluated. Stress Control is an already effectively packaged six-session, 90-minute-per-week, evidence-based, large-class, lecture-based intervention aimed at common mental health symptoms and suicide risk factors used in the U.K. The feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of Stress Control as a suicide prevention intervention will be studied among adults in the community who have had recent suicidal thoughts.
