The National Institute of Mental Health awarded Rhode Island Hospital $855,638 on August 20, 2026, under the Mental Health Research Grants program (CFDA 93.242) to conduct a hybrid Type I trial examining the effectiveness of ED_REACH, a family navigation intervention for youth discharged from emergency departments following suicide or non-suicidal self-injurious behavior evaluations. The trial will test ED_REACH (Resilience, Education, and Caregiver Help) with youth and their caregivers, targeting the care gap between emergency department discharge and community mental health treatment initiation. The intervention addresses structural barriers to care and caregiver mental health literacy, focusing on reducing caregiver anxiety and increasing self-efficacy as youth are released from emergency care with responsibility for securing follow-up services, implementing discharge plans, ensuring safety, and recognizing symptom severity. The award funds research to examine intervention effectiveness and optimize future implementation strategies. Work is performed in Providence, Rhode Island, with a period of performance extending through June 30, 2031. This is a Project Grant, the standard assistance type under NIMH's Mental Health Research Grants program.
