•Current inclusion criteria as of 05/06/2023:
•1\. Currently receiving care from a Home\-Based Treatment Team/Crisis team or have done so within the last 14 days, since referrals to HBTT/Crisis Team are associated with increased risk of a psychiatric hospital admission in the near future
•2\. Aged 16 years or above
•3\. Meet criteria for a diagnosis of SMHP (schizophrenia spectrum, bipolar, major depressive disorder, EUPD, PTSD or cPTSD) since these diagnoses account for the majority of PHAs for mental health difficulties
•4\. Experienced suicidal ideation or attempt within the last month / current crisis episode, as operationalised by answering ‘yes’ to items 1 or 2 of the Columbia\-Suicide Severity Rating Scale.
•5\. Able to provide informed consent
•6\. Receiving care from a Community Mental Health Team or Early Intervention Service, to ensure ongoing specialist mental health support following discharge from HBTT.
•Previous inclusion criteria from 09/01/2023 to 05/06/2023:
•1\. Currently receiving care from a Home\-Based Treatment Team/Crisis team or have done so within the last 14 days, since referrals to HBTT/Crisis Team are associated with increased risk of a psychiatric hospital admission in the near future
•2\. Aged 16 years or above

•Current inclusion criteria as of 05/06/2023:
•1\. Organic impairment, as this could be the cause of mental health symptoms rather than a SMHP
•2\. Non\-English speaking, since two of the interventions are remotely delivered talking therapies and one of the interventions is a smartphone app which has only been developed in English. Provision for non\-English speakers would be impossible on both financial and logistical grounds.
•3\. Primary diagnosis of a drug or alcohol dependence, as this could be the cause of mental health symptoms rather than a SMHP
•4\. Moderate to severe learning disability as confirmed by the participant's responsible clinician in their care team.
•5\. Immediate risk to others, for ethical and safety reasons
•6\. Currently receiving psychiatric inpatient care (since people in recent contact with crisis teams may have already been admitted to hospital)
