Art therapy, when combined with skills training in dialectical behaviour therapy and peer support, can teach young people new ways to regulate intense emotions and urges associated with suicidality, build healthy peer relationships, and increase a sense of purpose and personal empowerment. Practical advice will result in more confidence in using DBT-informed art therapy with a focus of integration into practices for youth suicide prevention to strengthen existing skills. Schorr exemplifies these practices through the The Arts in Recovery for Youth (AIRY) model - an art therapy model for reducing youth suicide, informed by research in suicidology and best practices in suicide prevention.

Throughout the book, case-studies of DBT-informed art therapy illustrate positive intervention with young people. Social, psychological and emotional factors which may lead to suicide are discussed along with risk factors. Practical resources for practitioners are included in order to seamlessly integrate DBT-informed art therapy into their practices with measurable outcomes.
