Change in frequency and/or intensity of suicidal ideation
Determine if there is a significant difference in the frequency and/or intensity of suicidal ideation, as measured by the Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation (BSS) among the MBB-SI + TAU cohort compared to the TAU. We will use the total BSS score, ranging from 0 to 38. Increased scores reflect greater suicide risk.
Time frame: Weekly during the intervention, one-month post-intervention, three months post-intervention, six months post-intervention
