Group I: Project SAVE ("Stop Adolescent Violence Everywhere") SSIExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

SAVE is a \~30-minute, self-administered, web-based program that uses components of cognitive behavior therapy and dialectical behavior therapy designed to decrease self-injurious behaviors in youth. The Project SAVE SSI has 4 general content sections: (1) explaining the science behind how changing your actions (i.e. decreasing self-injurious behaviors) can positively impact your emotions over time; (2) providing scientific evidence and testimonials from other teens that have successfully decreased their self-injurious behaviors and noticed positive change as a result; (3) evidence-based tips for overcoming common obstacles to decreasing self-injurious behaviors in day to day life; and (4) offering an opportunity for youth to share their own thoughts and advice on what they have learned with other teenagers who are facing similar challenges.

Group II: Supportive Therapy ("Share Your Feelings") SSIActive Control1 Intervention

Supportive Therapy SSI (Schleider \& Weisz, 2018): \~30-minute, self-administered, web-based program that uses components of supportive therapy to encourage feelings sharing.
