Description
Counselors Care (CARE) is a school-based intervention for high-school students at risk for suicide. CARE is a two-part, four-hour program, beginning with a personalized computer-assisted assessment of risk and protective factors, and followed by a brief counseling intervention designed to enhance a youth's personal resources and social network connections.
Goal / Mission
The goal of this program is to prevent suicide and reduce depression among high-school students.
Results / Accomplishments
The evaluations of CARE found that the program resulted in faster rates of decline in risk factors for suicide and lower levels of depression and hopelessness among participants when compared with a usual-care control group. In addition, the treatment group resulted in lower levels of anxiety and anger for female students. Although studies have been limited to the Pacific Northwest, the CARE interventions were evaluated in schools with diverse ethnic populations.
