Despite the prevalence of suicidal thoughts and behaviors among adolescents, there is limited knowledge of effective interventions to use with this population. This paper reviews the findings of studies on behavioral interventions for adolescents who are at acute suicide risk, as well as outpatient treatment and risk management strategies with suicidal adolescents. The importance of addressing comorbid behaviors and enhancing protective factors are discussed. Cultural considerations in working with suicidal adolescents and strategies for conducting culturally competent treatment are explored.

Suicide continues to be one of the leading causes of death for adolescents, with limited evidence of empirically- supported treatment approaches for reducing risk of suicide, suicide attempts, and suicidal ideation in this population. The purpose of the current article is to present the Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) therapeutic framework as a potentially useful approach to working with suicidal adolescents given the egalitarian dynamic between therapist and client, as well as the focus on targeting the client's unique drivers of suicide..

Approximately 4,600 American adolescents commit suicide each year, and adolescent suicide rates are on the rise. The consequences of suicidal behavior are far-reaching, and understanding the development of patterns that contribute to ideation and attempt are crucial to prevention and intervention. This paper outlines an experiential avoidance model of suicidality and discusses an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach to treating adolescent suicidal behavior. A case study is reviewed, along with literature relevant to the risk factors and trajectories correlated with suicide in adolescents..

Open access. Self-harm and depression are strong risk factors for repeat self-harm and suicide. We aimed to investigate the feasibility of a randomised controlled trial (RCT) of remotely delivered problem-solving cognitive behaviour therapy (PSCBT) plus treatment as usual (TAU) versus TAU in young people with repeat self-harm and depression.

Self-harm is a highly common behavior in adolescents, which is associated with future attempted suicide, completed suicide, and onset of mental illness.1 It is associated with significant distress (both as a cause and as an outcome) and social impairment.2 It is therefore essential that we provide effective treatment. Self-harm is a hazardous behavior that can occur in young people with any mental disorder and in young people with no psychiatric diagnosis.2 This demonstrates the need for specific treatments aimed at adolescent self-harm, which may confer additional benefits, on top of treatments aimed at the underlying disorder. This is particularly true for young people who do not meet strict criteria for any psychiatric illness but do have impairing self-harm..

Adolescent self-harm is an emerging public health challenge. It is associated with later psychiatric and substance use disorders, unemployment and suicide. Family interventions have been effective in a range of adolescent mental health problems and for that reason were reviewed for their effectiveness in the management of adolescent self-harm..

Open access. Suicide-related behaviours are common in young people and associated with a range of negative outcomes. There are few evidence-based interventions; however, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) shows promise. Internet delivery of CBT is popular, with potential to increase reach and accessibility.

Historically, inpatient hospitalization has historically been a primary approach for managing risk in suicidal adolescents. However, hospitalization is disruptive and its efficacy in reducing suicide risk for adolescents is unclear. Preliminary data suggest that hospitalization may be iatrogenic and result in increased risk for subsequent hospitalizations and continued suicidal behaviour (Linehan, April 2016; Prinstein et al., 2008). This paper first discusses potential theoretical pitfalls of psychiatric hospitalization for suicidal adolescents, specifically poor triage to outpatient treatment, stigma, and social isolation. Secondly, we present outpatient family-based therapy as an alternative evidence-based approach for treating suicidal adolescents. To achieve this aim we review the existing research base examining specific family-based outpatient treatments and discuss practical considerations concerning the implementation of family-based approaches with suicidal adolescents.
