They undergo an initial evaluation and risk assessment. Following initial evaluation, each subject is assigned to one of three study groups, based on clinical considerations. In this stratified randomization system, the most serious acute cases are generally referred to our ultra-short crisis intervention (IPT- A SCI) and the rest are randomized to either one of the three groups: IPT- A SCI, Treatment as usual (TAU) and waiting list (WL). All participants and their parents complete the questionnaires via a secure electronic interface, with the aid of a trained research assistant. Treatment drop-out rates, thus far, seem low and stand at about 11% for the IPT-A SCI and at about 16% for patients who receive TAU.Masking: None (Open Label)Primary Purpose: Treatment

In recent years, suicidal behaviors have shown substantial increase worldwide. This trend is also prominent in Israel and has led to a dramatic increase in mental health treatment demand resulting in long wait times and low treatment acceptance rate. To address the critical need in crisis intervention for children and adolescents at suicidal risk, the investigators developed an ultra-brief acute crisis intervention, based on Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT). IPT is an evidence-based intervention for various psychopathologies among different age groups. The current adaptation of IPT-A is comprised of five weekly sessions, followed by monthly follow-up caring email contacts to the patients and their parents, over a period of three months.
