Interventions
This study's experimental condition consisted of the Suicidal Crisis Intervention (SCI), developed by the Flemish Centre of Expertise of Suicide prevention. The SCI aims to provide tools for dealing with future suicidal crises for people after a suicidal crisis or suicide attempt. The intervention attempts to provide insight into the suicidal crisis by giving suicidality meaning within the life history. It aims to increase motivation for specialized care and therefore facilitate continuity of care. In addition, the method also wants to involve the close relative(s) of the suicidal person in the treatment. The SCI offers care providers a clear structure and handles to do this within a short period of time (4 sessions). Within the SCI are a number of crucial elements: the therapeutic relationship, involving loved ones, person-centred care, the Integrated Explanatory Model for Suicidal Behavior (Van Heeringen, 2007), the safety plan (Stanley \& Brown, 2012) and continuity of care.
