The National Institute of Mental Health awarded the University of Alabama at Birmingham $726,339 on September 1, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to conduct a hybrid randomized effectiveness-implementation trial of THRIVE, a recovery-focused suicide prevention intervention for crisis stabilization centers. THRIVE is a suicide recovery and care transitions program combining a belonging, giving, and recovery psychotherapy group during crisis stabilization center stays with six peer-led recovery coaching calls post-discharge. The trial will recruit 552 individuals to examine THRIVE's effectiveness in reducing suicide risk events—including crisis re-admissions, care escalations, suicide attempts, and suicide deaths—following discharge from crisis stabilization centers, while identifying barriers and facilitators to program adoption across multiple sites. The intervention targets the gap in brief, recovery-focused psychological interventions available in the 600-plus crisis stabilization centers now operating nationwide, which serve as person-centered alternatives to emergency departments for suicidal individuals. The award period runs from September 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. Work is performed in Birmingham, Alabama. The study's three aims encompass measuring THRIVE's effectiveness in reducing suicide risk events post-discharge, conducting implementation science analysis of adoption barriers and facilitators, and related secondary outcomes.
