QSPIRE

 

We are looking to improve our psychological treatments for LGBTQ+ folks with suicide risk. We hope that the results of this research will allow us to reduce suicide risk for LGBTQ+ folks and provide treatment to people who are unable to attend in-person therapy sessions.

Your participation in this study is confidential.

The study entails:

  • Participating in approximately 12 weekly one-on-one sessions of psychological (non-medication) therapy
  • Completing a series of questionnaires and interviews to track your progress and give us feedback about our program
  • Participating in a 60–90-minute semi-structured interview
  • Completing self-report assessments

To be eligible, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Reside in a PsyPact State
  • Have had thoughts of suicide within the past week or have attempted suicide within the past month
  • Identify as LGBTQ+
  • Own an Internet-connected device with a webcam
