This study is looking into how a mother's emotions might influence the risk of suicide in her children. It aims to understand if difficulties with emotion regulation (how we manage our feelings) in mothers can be passed down to their children, increasing their risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The study will test two approaches: Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Group Training (a type of therapy that teaches coping skills) and Safety Planning Intervention (a plan to help manage suicidal crises). You might be able to join if you are a biological mother with legal custody of a child aged 9-11 and have a history of suicidal behavior. The study will measure child suicidal thoughts and behaviors over 24 months to see if these interventions are helpful. The current status of the study is unclear.
