SPARC was developed to help adolescents who’ve had a recent suicidal event – such as worsening suicidal thoughts or a suicide attempt – and need intensive care and support. SPARC uses a combination of teen skills group therapy, multifamily therapy, individual therapy, and family therapy. This helps families and teens:
Manage difficult emotions and stress
Improve communication and interpersonal skills
Ask for and receive support
Develop lifelong coping skills for managing intense emotions
