Problem
Suicide is a significant public health concern, and identifying individuals at high risk remains a challenge for communities and institutions. Traditional methods of identifying at-risk individuals often rely on reactive measures, failing to provide proactive support before a crisis occurs.
Solution
COMPAS is a screening and referral program designed to proactively identify individuals at heightened risk of suicide within the next 12 months. The program uses advanced screening techniques and predictive algorithms to identify those at risk. COMPAS then facilitates support and safety planning, connecting individuals with appropriate resources such as counseling, community groups, or emergency services, as needed. The goal is to improve mental health, reduce the incidence of suicide, and ensure individuals have access to suitable support systems.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes universities, educational institutions, and other organizations seeking to proactively support the mental health and wellbeing of their students or members, as well as allied health professionals, school staff, parents, and caregivers.
