This project embeds the "Give to Others" (GO) talk therapy module in a standard, outpatient therapy protocol to demonstrate target engagement in the context of ongoing clinical care and testing the ability of the GO module to engage the target in a rigorous randomized controlled trial (RCT) of the intervention. We will target perceived burdensomeness (PB) among 80 clinic-referred youths (ages 12-17) who experience subacute suicidal ideation (SI; i.e., positive suicide risk screen; stable safety status).
Youths will be recruited from the FIU Center for Children and Families (CCF) waitlist and the community at large, and will be randomized to one of the following 2 arms: a 12-session talk therapy and suicide risk management condition (control arm); and a 12-session therapy and suicide risk management condition plus the GO module (active arm). We hypothesize that youths receiving the GO module will have lower levels of PB and burden-related interpretation bias at mid-treatment and post-treatment compared with youths who receive the control arm. We also hypothesize that youths receiving the GO mo…

Safety planning is a standard suicide risk assessment and management protocol. This protocol involves determining level of risk based on current and prior suicidal thoughts and behavior, and then collaborative planning with youth and families for self-monitoring, self-regulation, help seeking, and suicide means restriction.
The GO Module is a brief cognitive behavioral intervention targeting youth burden-related beliefs. It consists of one primary session and brief follow-up.
The MATCH Anxiety and Depression modules involve a transdiagnostic protocol that adapts to individual clinical needs for teens experiencing internalizing symptoms. Participants receive weekly cognitive-behavioral therapy sessions guided by manualized decision flowcharts to sequence treatment strategies.
