abstract="OBJECTIVES: We examine the treatment narratives of Latina adolescent suicide attempters to understand their experiences undergoing care. <br><br>METHODS: Content and thematic analysis of 68 interviews with Latina adolescent suicide attempters. <br><br>RESULTS: Most teens who described positive experiences undergoing treatment (n = 39, 44.1%) did so when discussing outpatient mental health services (n = 30, 72.9%). Latinas felt that the providers who fostered their autonomy and connectedness helped them become active agents in their recovery. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians serving suicidal Latinas must allow them to exercise agency while feeling emotionally connected to providers. To help Latinas manage their suicidality, treatments need to address the teens' developmental needs.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
