Purpose of Review <p>The purpose of this paper is to describe the literature on Safety Planning Intervention (SPI), a brief intervention that focuses on management of immediate suicide risk and transition to ongoing treatment to address and stabilize suicidal thoughts and behaviors. In particular, this paper focuses on studies conducted examining the use of SPI among children and adolescents, identifies gaps in the literature, and makes suggestions for future research directions.</p> Recent Findings <p>Numerous studies document the efficacy of SPI in reducing suicide attempts and increasing treatment engagement among adults. However, the evidence to support SPI among children and adolescents at risk for suicide is more limited. Available research suggests that effective implementation strategies may be essential to ensure consistent delivery of SPI among youth, with technology-assisted approaches showing early promise.</p> Summary <p>More research is needed to better understand whether SPI is effective in reducing suicidal thoughts and behaviors among children and adolescents. Advancing this work will require rigorous evaluation of SPI’s efficacy and effectiveness, as well as identification of optimal strategies for implementation among young people.</p>
