A Mobile Health Approach for Improving Outcomes in Suicide Prevention (SafePlan)
Overview
This paper describes the development of SafePlan, a mobile health application designed to support suicide prevention by providing interactive safety planning and skill-building tools for users experiencing suicidal thoughts. The resource outlines an iterative design process involving clinician surveys and focus groups to prioritize features that complement face-to-face therapy. It is intended for readers interested in the intersection of digital mental health interventions and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) methodologies.
