Summary
There is not much evidence about what works in suicide prevention for Indigenous young people. This means that social and health services struggle to know where or how to invest their efforts to avert suicide risk. This study responds to the potential of increased suicide risk for Indigenous secondary school students who are compelled to transition from remote communities to boarding schools. It evaluates mentoring approaches that promote psycho-social resilience against suicide risk.

This is the first clinical trial to investigate the efficacy of a telephone delivered intervention for increasing social engagement, emotional health and well-being of disengaged rural and urban youth.
