Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This pilot study evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of the BeyondNow smartphone application for managing suicide safety plans among 36 individuals receiving tertiary mental health care. Participants used the app as an adjunct to usual treatment over two months, completing surveys at baseline and follow-up to assess usability and clinical outcomes. The results indicate that the application was easy to use and associated with reduced severity of suicidal ideation and increased coping skills, though no significant changes in suicide resilience were observed.
