This study tests a short, home-based therapy called ASSIP Flex for adults who have attempted suicide. The therapy involves 3-4 sessions delivered in the patient's own environment. Researchers will track suicidal thoughts and behaviors over 12 months to see if the therapy is feasible, cost-effective, and helps reduce repeat attempts. The study enrolls 119 participants in Switzerland.
