ReSIST: Reducing Self-Injury and Suicidal Thinking

We are conducting a research study at the University of Utah examining how mindfulness can help teenagers recover from self-injury or suicidal thoughts.

Teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 who have been discharged from an inpatient psychiatry unit in the past 2 weeks due to self-injury or suicidal thoughts and behavior may be eligible.

What will the study involve?

• Questions about thoughts, feelings, and behavior
• Meeting with a clinician
• Access to an app-based mobile intervention
• Possibility of 10 weekly treatment sessions using mindfulness
• Possibility of a brain scan using MRI
• Ongoing assessment at 3 and 6 months after treatment

What are the benefits?

• Access to an app-based mobile intervention
• Possibility for weekly meetings with an experienced clinician
• Possibility of seeing a full image of your brain
• Help advance an important scientific field
• Eligible participants will be compensated for their time
