Understanding Cognitive and Developmental Neuroscience of Suicide and Non-suicidal Self-injury

Our project is dedicated to investigating the cognitive and developmental neuroscience aspects of suicide and NSSI. We aim to contribute to the development of effective interventions and strategies that improve mental health outcomes for at-risk individuals while promoting overall well-being and preventing self-destructive behaviors among young populations.

Adolescent Health Enhancing Long-term Plan (A-HELP)

Investigate the prevalence of NSSI, suicidal thoughts and behaviors among children and adolescents in China.

Explore the impact of diverse environmental and individual factors.

Examine the transmission of suicidal thoughts and behaviors on social networks.

Study the genetic characteristics of individuals experiencing these thoughts and behaviors.

Virtual Reality (VR) intervention for mental health

Digital mental health interventions are considered to have the specific potential to support mental health and well-being in young people

Transdiagnostic digital intervention

Our project focuses on the development of a digital mental health online platform called "Redbud Mental Wellness." We have created a digital transdiagnostic intervention program, Training for Emotional Adaptation (TEA), based on the emotional regulation model and Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy.

Spontaneous Speech-Based Suicide Risk Detectoin Using Whisper and LLMS

This is the first study to leverage large language models (LLMs) and speech analysis for suicide risk detection among adolescents. Our research explores the application of LLMs and speech analysis in assessing suicide risk among adolescents. 

Developing Real-time monitoring and Intervention

Investigating the long-term effectiveness of the APP-based intervention in reducing NSSI and suicide behaviors
Exploring ways to tailor the intervention within the APP to individual needs and preferences, enhancing engagement and adherence to the intervention.

School-based Universal Prevention Program targeting Non-suicidal Self-injury

 Our School-based Universal Prevention Program targets the improvement of interpersonal relationships, emotion regulation, and interoception to prevent NSSI behavior and enhance the mental health of adolescents.

Developing School Prevention and Intervention Programs Gatekeeper

The Life Gatekeeper program aims to enhance teachers' literacy, beliefs, skills, willingness to intervene, and perceived competence in dealing with students at risk of suicide.
