Group I: From Hardship to Hope: Financial Wellness InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
From Hardship to Hope: A Peer-led intervention to reduce financial hardship and suicide risk Over the course of this study, the investigators will develop and pilot a financial wellness intervention to work in tandem with clinical treatment. The intervention will support individuals experiencing financial hardship and suicide risk to address their financial difficulties (e.g., debt, inability to meet basic needs) by coaching them on financial management techniques, facilitating a financial wellness plan, and connecting them with community-based financial supports (e.g., free financial counseling). The intervention will be facilitated by trained peer specialists, who are individuals with lived experience of financial hardship and suicidal ideation or suicidal behaviors who are state certified peer specialists (having met formal training and experience requirements).
