Group I: Written Exposure Therapy -for SuicideExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Written Exposure Therapy-for Suicide (WET-S) consists of 5 treatment sessions. Each session includes a written exposure exercise. It also includes CRP. Participants assigned to WET-S will complete the CRP prior to beginning their writing in session 1. Patient use of the CRP since the previous session will be briefly reviewed at the start of each WET-S session to manage safety and problem solve fluctuations in risk during treatment.
Group II: Treatment as UsualActive Control1 Intervention
The TAU condition consists of daily contact and patient centered care by the acute psychiatric inpatient unit provider team. TAU includes initial stabilization, nurse case management, medication management, psychoeducation groups, and discharge planning. Patients engage with the provider team daily.
