This study is looking at a new way to help young adults (ages 18-24) who have had suicidal thoughts. It's testing a 4-week automated text messaging program called "Text Messaging based Safety Planning Intervention." This program guides you through creating a safety plan, which is a personalized list of coping strategies and support. The study wants to see if it's possible to run a larger study like this in the future and if young adults find this text-based approach helpful and easy to use. You would be randomly assigned to either receive the interactive safety planning texts right away or first receive texts with crisis resources for four weeks before getting the safety planning program. The study aims to enroll 60 participants and is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
