Dr. Todd Favorite, Scott Halpert, and Dr. Christal Eason will present the Youth Support Team (YST) intervention with young adults enrolled in Garrett’s Space, a community-based, wellness program. YST is the only evidence-based intervention for suicide prevention that has demonstrated significant results in studies with inpatient adolescent patients (King, et.al., 2009). The presenters will explore the application of this treatment with young adults (18-30), who are at risk of suicide. They will introduce the Garrett’s Space wellness group program for young adults, which provides a unique, community-based collaboration along with support and psychoeducation from the UM Psychological Clinic. 

1 hour of free CE credit is available for MPA members who attend this presentation.
