[HOPAIR, a feasibility study focused on hope and recovery in suicide prevention]

Suicide is a major public health issue. Efforts to prevent it must begin as soon as hospitalization. Brief mental health interventions and contacts are known to be effective. The HOPAIR study proposes an innovative combination of peer support intervention and the Hope Box tool, followed by a reminder postcard sent to suicidal individuals hospitalized in psychiatric crisis units at two research centers in Lyon. Focusing on the resources of those affected, hope, and recovery, this study highlights the work of peer support workers and advanced practice nurses while offering encouraging prospects in the field of suicide prevention.
