Couple-Based Crisis Safety Planning
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Suicidal Ideas, Suicidal Ideation, Crisis; Emotional, Suicide Attempts, Suicidal and Self-injurious Behaviour, Suicidal Impulses
In brief
Suicide is a leading cause of death in Veterans. Suicide rates among Veterans have increased approximately 36% from 2001 to 2020. Veterans are at increased risk for suicide compared to non-Veterans, with the rate of suicide death being 57.3% higher for Veterans than non-Veterans. The present study will pilot test a virtual couple-based crisis response plan (CRP-C) for Veterans in order to reduce crisis symptoms and decrease suicide risk.
