My name is Carmelisa Mindrum, and I am a student at the University of Cincinnati in my final semester of the Mental Health Counseling Master's program. I am also an intern counselor with IKRON of Greater Cincinnati. I created this site as part of a capstone project exploring ways that we as mental health clinicians and health professionals can best support and treat clients and patients who experience suicidal ideation (SI) regularly. There is an immense amount of information about how to work with clients who are at an acute risk but not necessarily how to work with those who struggle with it on a daily basis. Biases regarding which clients typically experience chronic suicidal ideation remain prominent, as much research focuses on individuals with borderline personality disorder. However, there are individuals with a variety of mental health concerns who experience consistent thoughts of suicide. It is important to understand the reasons why a person would have chronic SI and how practitioners across a variety of disciplines such as counseling, social work, nursing, and medicine-can provide the appropriate treatment or interventions.
