"Instead, You're Going to a Friend": Evaluation of a Community-Developed, Peer-Delivered Online Crisis Prevention Intervention.

Objective: Online communities promote social connection and can be used for formal peer support and crisis intervention. Although some communities have programs to support their members' mental health, few programs have been formally evaluated. The authors present findings from a mixed-methods evaluation of the Stack Up Overwatch Program (StOP), a digital peer support intervention delivered in an online gaming community.
