Telehealth Support for Soldiers After Psychiatric Hospitalization

This study is looking at a program called Pathfinding, which uses remote (video or phone) support to help active-duty Army soldiers after they've been discharged from psychiatric hospitalization. Pathfinding involves working with a trained Guide for six months. You might also choose to include a family member or friend as a support person. The study wants to see if Pathfinding, when added to standard care (Treatment As Usual), can help reduce suicide-related behaviors in the 12 months after discharge. You could be eligible if you are an active-duty Regular Army soldier, 18 or older, recently discharged from a military psychiatric hospital in the U.S., and have access to a phone and computer. The study aims to enroll 1500 participants.
