Embedding Psychosocial Support in Youth Suicide Prevention: Suicide Prevention Implementation Research IniTiative (SPIRIT) Program, Gujarat, India
摘要
The SPIRIT program is a community-based integrated model that addresses psychological and social aspects of suicide risk. It focuses on identifying and supporting individuals displaying suicidal behaviour, enhancing resilience, and providing support through its varied evidence-based interventions. The Youth Aware of Mental Health (YAM) is a culturally sensitive, community-driven school-based sub-intervention that was implemented as a part of SPIRIT. It aims to support at-risk adolescents, promote mental well being and help seeking through a task sharing approach and leveraging on the locally available psycho-social networks in low-resource settings.
