Summary

This study tests whether a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills group, added to usual care, helps veterans at high risk for suicide better manage their emotions. About 156 veterans with a history of suicide attempts and current suicidal thoughts will take part. The goal is to see if the group reduces emotional struggles and improves coping skills.
