This study is testing a new group therapy program called BEAR-SI (Building Empowerment and Resilience) for women aged 18-75 who have experienced physical, sexual, or emotional trauma and are currently having suicidal thoughts. The BEAR-SI program is a twelve-week group that meets once a week for 1.5 hours. It includes learning psychological skills, education about trauma and gender-based violence, and physical self-defense training. Researchers want to see if it's possible to recruit participants and successfully run the BEAR-SI group. They will measure how well participants feel they can cope and changes in suicidal thoughts after the program.
