Reconnecting Youth
Prevention Research Program
Research Project
Promoting
CARE: Counselors and Parents Prevent Youth Suicide Risk (P-CARE)
NIH,
National Institute of Nursing Research: 1999-2004
The purpose
of Project CARE is to evaluate the effectiveness of three brief
youth suicide interventions:
- Counselors-CARE
- Parents-CARE
- Counselors-
and Parents-CARE
Project
CARE has two distinct elements:
- Counselors-Care
is an interactive, personalized assessment plus a brief
motivational counseling intervention designed to:
-
deliver empathy and support,
- provide
personal information,
- reinforce
coping skills and help-seeking behaviors,
- increase
access to help, and
- enhance
access to social support.
- Parents-CARE
is a social network support intervention designed to:
- coach
parents/guardians in suicide prevention first-aid,
- increase
parental support and communication competence, and
- enhance
parental capacity to coach teens in specific coping skills.
These brief
Project CARE interventions are designed to do the following:
- decrease
suicide risk behaviors,
- decrease
anger,
- decrease
depression, and
- decrease
aggression.
These decreases,
we believe, will result due to the following changes:
- increased
personal control,
- increased
family support,
- increased
coping skills, and
- decreased
family distress.
