Digital Narrative Bibliotherapy as a Scalable Intervention for Suicidal Thoughts

"Once per day for a 14-day trial period, participants in the Treatment group were assigned to read a first-person narrative about a past issue with suicidal thoughts or behaviors. These narratives each contained positive elements, such as providing details about how the author had overcome issues with suicide, suggesting that people with suicidal thought are not alone, or encouraging people with suicidal thoughts/behaviors to have hope."
