What this Trial Is About
The objective of this study is to develop and pilot a program designed to improve mental health outcomes and reduce suicide risk during the transition from military to civilian life. It is hypothesized that the Transition Health and Resilience through Valued Experiences (THRiVE) program, to be developed as part of this study, will meet participant recruitment, retention, and satisfaction benchmarks (primary outcomes) and show positive preliminary effects on mental health symptoms, risk factors for suicidal ideation, and psychosocial functioning outcomes (secondary outcomes). The specific aims of this study are to: 1. Develop a small-group, peer-led, cross-cutting prevention program for newly separated veterans (NSVs) called THRiVE and 2. Evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of the THRiVE program on mental health symptoms, risk factors for suicidal ideation, and psychosocial functioning outcomes. Up to 40 NSVs participating in this Stage 1 pilot study will complete validated self-report measures at baseline, immediately after completing the THRiVE program (post-THRiVE), and 3 months after completing the THRiVE program (follow-up). The duration of a participant's time in the study is anticipated to be 5 months.
