Hospital-based early mental health interventions are growing in interest among researchers and policymakers given their potential to reach trauma-exposed populations with limited access to mental health services. This paper presents the conceptual framework for the RISE Program, a multidisciplinary, hospital-based early mental health intervention program for gunshot injury survivors. The RISE Program began as an academic-community partnership and draws on existing models of hospital-based mental health intervention to provide support across the continuum of trauma care. Background information regarding program development is provided along with a deidentified case example of a survivor who received services to illustrate the program model.
