Partnering for Prevention
Summary
Help Improve Mental Health Support for Autistic Youth!
Our research team is working to develop neurodiversity-affirming mental health supports for Autistic youth who have experienced suicidality. We believe that the best supports are created with input from people with lived and professional experience, and we are inviting community members to share their perspectives to inform a brief suicide intervention designed for and with Autistic youth.
Participants will take part in a one-hour interview about what support is most helpful for Autistic youth after a suicide attempt or mental health crisis.
