A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The study pilots a brief, online, self-guided intervention called KindMind for youth aged 13-25 who identify as sexual and/or gender minorities and have recent suicidal thoughts. Participants complete online assessments, use the intervention, and then report back one month later to gauge acceptability and any changes in mood and suicidality. It is a single-arm feasibility study without a control group, focusing on whether the program is usable and shows initial signals of benefit. Eligibility requires residency in Canada, English fluency, and access to a computer for virtual participation.
