Abstract
High levels of flourishing were associated with lower suicide and self-injury risk in a large diverse sample (n=38,679), controlling for other known risk factors. Future research should continue exploring the role of flourishing on self-injurious behavior and develop and assess evidence-based interventions to enhance flourishing in at-risk populations.
