Overview
Brief Summary
This study will develop and examine the feasibility and acceptability of a family navigator protocol while leveraging digital health communication. It will employ an ecological model within a socio-cultural theoretic framework of mental health service disparities and barriers to treatment.
Detailed Description
The purpose of this study is to develop and pilot a Family Navigator intervention with technology-enhanced information sharing for families with youth (80 youth-caregiver dyads) who were discharged from the emergency after an admission for SSIB. This novel intervention aims to reduce suicidal and non-suicidal self-injurious behavior risk and prevalence rates by way of increasing attendance to community-based mental health services for youth aged 10 to 14.
