Summary: Exploring the Meaning of Recovery from Recurrent Suicide Attempts is a qualitative study undertaken to develop a grounded theory of successful transition from higher to lower risk of suicidal behaviour for young people with recurrent suicidal behaviour and the meaning that this transition held for clients. This Commissioned Research Report, funded by the Wellesley Institute and prepared by St. Michael’s Hospital, found that based on symptom measures, each person who participated in the Psychosocial-Psychoeducational (PISA) Intervention was doing better than when they first began the intervention. With these positive reults, this model of transitioning away from higher to lower risk of suicidal behaviours, and the insights provided into the individual experience of the clients, may help inform therapy in dealing with suicidal young adults.
