Description
This study will present the process of developing and implementing a research-based suicide prevention club at the secondary level and the outcomes and future directions for a large-scale follow up study. The primary aim of this project is to decrease suicide and suicide behaviors in youth as in many states both high school students reported having seriously considered attempting suicide and/or reported to have actually attempted suicide have increased in recent years (CDC, 2017).
