The Mental Imagery for Suicidality in Students Trial (MISST)

The Broad-Minded Affective Coping (BMAC) is a six session intervention that uses mental imagery and rehearsal of memories of past positive experiences to generate positive emotions in the moment. A further follow-up session is provided in the eight weeks following the end of treatment.

A therapist will meet with participants over two 50 minute sessions to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment, and develop a collaborative plan with the participant around managing any risk, including identification of sources of support and signposting.
