This is custom heading element

Feasibility studies work package aims to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of evidence-based psychological interventions to prevent self-harm and suicide.

(SAHAR-M) the project aims to prevent self-harm and suicide and quality improvement in the healthcare system with the aspirational goal of zero suicides. Given that, the SAHAR-M research team has planned small research studies to gather evidence on the feasibility and acceptability of evidence-based psychological interventions such as problem-solving intervention to prevent suicidal ideation, self-harm, and suicide.

 

We want to be as inclusive as we can in terms of working with people with a variety of mental health problems across different settings such as; maternal mental health, people with autism, burn survivors, prison settings, people with substance use disorder, older adults, and people with severe mental illness. We plan to test eHealth/Telephone based intervention to prevent the repetition of self-harm. Our plan includes training for local community health workers and field workers to create a sustainable, flexible, and efficient research delivery team and to strengthen the community-based health management system for diagnosing mental health disorders by combining technologies and traditional solutions. If proven effective, this will be implemented at a wider level in Pakistan. The table below lists the various studies ongoing:
