No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The study involves a short therapy intervention for people who are experiencing thoughts of suicide. The intervention will focus upon different memories from the person's life. These memories will vary in the emotions they evoke - some memories will be associated with neutral emotions, whereas others will bring up positive emotions. The intervention will have a particular focus upon memories of times when the participants have moved away from thinking about suicide, with the aim of reinforcing memories of what helped them to reconnect with life. The intervention will also introduce relaxation techniques, in addition to involving a safety planning component. The project aims to consider whether this intervention is acceptable and feasible for this population.
