Does IPT-A-SCI reduce suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children and adolescents? Do the effects of IPT-A-SCI continue three months after treatment ends? Do some children and adolescents benefit more from IPT-A-SCI than others?
Participants will:
Receive IPT-A-SCI treatment consisting of five weekly sessions Complete questionnaires before treatment, during treatment, at the end of treatment, and three months after treatment ends Have their parents complete questionnaires at the same time points
