Identifying the right intervention for the right person at the right time
STRENGTHENS focuses on developing, testing, and optimizing brief, targeted interventions to prevent suicidal behavior and promote rapid and long-lasting recovery from suicidal episodes. We are especially interested in understanding why, how, when, and for whom different interventions and treatments work. Instead of inventing new treatments, we seek to make already proven treatments work better by combining them with other treatments, changing how they are delivered, and determining who benefits the most from which strategies.
