What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial is testing a therapy called T-SIB to help Veterans who hurt themselves on purpose. The therapy teaches healthier ways to cope and uses real-time tracking to understand and manage triggers. Veterans are targeted because they have higher rates of self-injury, which can lead to serious mental health problems.
