Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Brief Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Training (DBT-BST) can prevent suicidality in adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does DBT-BST provide coping strategies (e.g., emotion regulation) to participants with suicidal ideation?
* Does DBT-BST lower participants' suicide ideation?

Researchers will compare DBT-BST to relaxation to see if DBT-BST works to reduce suicidal ideation.

Participants will:

* Receive DBT-BST in a single 60-minute, in-person, individual session.
* Be asked to use these skills as self-help and for crisis prevention.

Brief Dialectical Behavior Therapy-Skills Training

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Brief Dialectical Behavior Therapy-Skills Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The intervention is administered in a single session, lasting approximately 60 minutes and conducted in person. It is important to note that there are no ongoing sessions.

In the intervention, participants are provided with 5 basic skills of Dialectical Behavior Therapy: 1) mindfulness, 2) mindfulness of current emotions, 3) opposite-to-emotion action, 4) distraction, and 5) changing body chemistry. These strategies are grouped under 3 categories: 1) Mindfulness, 2) Emotion regulation (mindfulness of current emotions, opposite-to-emotion action), 3) Tolerating distress (distraction, changing body chemistry). These skills are not designed to treat or solve the crisis. The main aim is to provide effective coping mechanisms that can be implemented quickly before the crisis escelates, to help overcome the intense emotional pain and keep the person alive.

Relaxation control group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Relaxation

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The control group will be subjected to a relaxation exercise, with the objective of managing participant expectations, researcher attention/interest, and time spent, as well as providing a coping strategy for stress.
