Brief Summary

The investigators are modifying and testing the preliminary effectiveness and implementation of a Cognitive Behavioral Suicide Prevention for psychosis (CBSPp) intervention. In this phase of the study, CBSPp will be tested in an initial open trial (n = 10) to examine its feasibility and acceptability. Investigators will recruit clients receiving services at a community mental health setting who have a schizophrenia spectrum disorder and recent suicidal thoughts and behaviors to receive the behavioral intervention for 10-weeks. Providers will be recruited and trained to deliver the intervention. Both clients and providers will be assessed at baseline to test our approach to measurement prior to the Aim 2 RCT (registered separately). Clients will be assessed at three additional timepoints (middle of treatment, end of treatment, and 2 months after treatment ends.
