Intervention: New Hope (NH)
Description: New Hope will be implemented over 1 visit (2-4 hours) in a youth-preferred setting after Emergency Department (ED) discharge for a suicide attempt, and in the past few years has been updated to also target suicide ideation and binge behavior. NH emphasizes the seriousness of a suicide attempt; teaches coping skills to reduce risk, including emotion regulation, cognitive restructuring, social support, and safety planning; and helps participants overcome barriers to treatment motivation, initiation, and adherence. A center-piece of the intervention is a 20-minute video produced by with Native actors, vignettes specific to this community, and Elders speaking in Apache (with sub-titles) about the seriousness of suicide, its impact on the community, their concern for the adolescent, and beliefs about the communal importance of each individual's life.Youth will be encouraged to choose a support person from his/her family to take part in the intervention.

Intervention: Elders Resilience (ER)
Description: Elders' Resiliency is a monthly manualized curriculum taught by Elders in the community intended to bolster Apache youths' resilience to suicide ideation, attempts and substance abuse by promoting Apache cultural identity and values, youth's self-worth and role in the community, and fostering connectedness to society and community, with an emphasis on extended family as a nexus of strength. Each lesson introduces youth to cultural knowledge, stories, and songs with an emphasis on respect and the sacredness of each life. Our community-based Apache staff will select Elders who both express an interest in the current project and have demonstrated affinity and skill for teaching the current curriculum in the schools. After this group of Elders is recruited and agree to participate, they will be paired with our paraprofessional Apache study staff.

Intervention: Case Management (CM)
Description: Research Program Assistants, who are trained Surveillance System Staff, will conduct the monitoring and case management visits in participants' homes or other private settings at baseline, 1, 2, 3 and 6 months post-enrollment. The CM visit includes rapport-building, use of the Suicide Ideation Questionnaire (SIQ) to assess imminent risk, and if youth report not yet having connected to services, referral to Apache Behavioral Health Services (ABHS), the local community mental health center. At CM visits, the Research Program Assistants will also monitor participants' completion of the study battery, which will be self-administered using tablets. In addition, Research Program Assistants will score the SIQ before leaving the youth. If the SIQ reveals the participant is at imminent risk, Research Program Assistants will employ a protocol for rescue services, which involves triaging youth immediately to the ED for further assessment and care.
