Another factor, RFL, is also important to consider when treating young adults at high-risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. RFL may be useful in the development of a treatment plan, whereby a patient’s individual strengths and adaptive RFL against suicide would be identified. Further, RFL is a potentially modifiable factor (Brown, Bryan, & Holloway, 2012) and interventions that focus on bolstering/generating RFL, such as a novel brief cognitive therapy (Brown et al., 2012), could prove fruitful in increasing RFL and decreasing suicidal thoughts and future suicide attempts among high-risk groups. Identification of more refined treatment targets of suicidality among depressed or hopeless individuals is intriguing and directly targeting an increase in this protective factor may help to weaken the link between depression, hopelessness, and suicidal thoughts and behavior. Clinicians and mental health professionals may need to focus their attention on modifying RFL, in addition to reducing depression and hopelessness, when treating suicidal patients; however, this remains an empirical question.
