This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new therapy called Integrated Suicide and Trauma Therapy (ISTT), which combines two approaches: skills training to help you cope with suicidal thoughts, and trauma-focused therapy to address the lasting effects of childhood trauma. The program lasts 12 weeks and is designed for adults who have experienced childhood trauma and are currently struggling with suicidal thoughts.
Despite existing treatments, suicide rates haven't improved much over the past decade, and people who experienced childhood trauma are at higher risk. This new treatment exists because researchers believe that effectively preventing suicide requires both teaching coping skills AND addressing the deep impacts of childhood trauma.
