This study will explore the effects of the Injeti Self-Love Model intervention on adolescents challenged with low-self-esteem leading to self-harming, suicidal thoughts and suicidal attempts. This study will examine the promotion of self-esteem through the Injeti Self-Love Model as a safety measure against "poor behavioral habits" such as intentional self-harming, substance abuse, suicidal thinking and suicide attempt as means to cope. Study participation will include initial screening, self-assessment, occupational therapy self-esteem intervention of one session, with an individual follow-up, along with an interview, and finishing up with a one-month follow-up interview.

The qualitative research is a methodology for investigating and considering the meaning individuals attribute to a significant human experience. The qualitative approach will be structured around a semi-structured interview initiated at the end of the second follow-up session and after 1-month follow-up.
