Brief Summary
The goal of this pilot study is to test the effectiveness of a novel intervention for young adults (ages 18-27) with mental health conditions who have been released from an acute care psychiatric facility. The intervention aims to reduce suicidality, depression, anxiety, re-hospitalization, and improve mental health recovery by using outpatient services. The current standard of care (SOC) for these patients at discharge includes a discharge plan with a list of their medications, anticipated outpatient appointments, and information on when and where to find community resources. The intervention being tested involves the implementation of a mental health recovery education and support program, involving one-on-one and small group meetings led by Peer Support Specialists (PSS) and Recovery Community Organizations (RCO). Participants will be assigned to either Cohort A or B for 8 weeks. Cohort A will be the intervention group with PSS and RCOs.
- Weeks 1-4: One-on-one meetings with PSS for education and support. Assessments will be completed at weeks 2 and 4.
- Weeks 5 and 7: One-on-one meetings with PSS for education and support.
- Week 6 and 8: Group meetings with PSS and other participants from RCOs. Assessments will be completed during these weeks. Cohort B will be the SOC group with no PSS or RCOs.
- Weeks 1-4: Weekly check in phone calls with a member of the research team. Assessments will be completed at weeks 2 and 4.
- Weeks 5-8: Check in phone calls with a member of the research team every other week. Assessments will be completed at weeks 6 and 8. Data collected from participant assessments, adherence to medication, and re-admittance to a psychiatric facility will be used to compare the intervention to the SOC.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in suicidal ideation
The intervention in this study will use peer support specialist (PSS) and recovery community organization (RCO) programs to improve knowledge, awareness, and utilization of recovery and wellness programs. Connecting patients with a PSS and recovery organizations has been associated with an improvement in patient outcomes - including a change in the incidences of suicide/attempted suicide. Changes in suicide ideation and consequently the mortality from suicide will be determine by administrating the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) using both the baseline and since last visit assessment versions. Scoring of the assessment indicates severity. Changes is scores will be analyzed to determine the effectiveness of the intervention.
Weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8.
