Existing research suggests that stigma and perceived lack of competence often affect MHPs\u2019 willingness to treat such cases. However, the extent to which symptom severity and the cause of loss (suicide vs. accident) influence MPHs\u2019 decisions remains unclear. In this study, we examined these factors and whether suicide prevention training moderates MHPs\u2019 willingness to treat and their perceived competence. Method: Using a vignette-based design, we presented 413 MHPs (e.g., clinical psychologists, clinical social workers, and psychiatrics) from Israel with hypothetical cases manipulated by suicidal risk (no risk, depression, or high risk) and cause of loss (suicide or accident). Participants rated their willingness to treat, likelihood of referral, and perceived competence. Results: As suicide risk increased, MHPs showed a decreased willingness to treat and increased referral inclinations, regardless of the cause of loss. Suicide prevention training significantly increased willingness to treat and enhanced perceived competence. The cause of loss (suicide vs. accident) had no significant effect on willingness to treat or perceived competence. Limitations: The study relied on hypothetical vignettes and self-report measures, which may not fully capture the complexities of real-world clinical decision-making. Conclusions: These findings highlight the significance of targeted training programs during MHPs\u2019 academic studies and among experienced professionals to boost their competence and reduce stigma when treating individuals at suicide risk.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1027\/0227-5910\/a001016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,10]],"date-time":"2025-07-10T07:02:12Z","timestamp":1752130932000},"page":"301-310","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["To What Extent Are Therapists Willing to Treat Suicide-Loss Survivors With Suicide Risk?"],"prefix":"10.1027","volume":"46","author":[{"given":"Gleb","family":"Khorev","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Psychology, Ruppin Academic Center, Emek Hefer, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yossi","family":"Levi-Belz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Psychology, Ruppin Academic Center, Emek Hefer, Israel"},{"name":"The Lior Tsfaty Center for Suicide and Mental Pain Studies, Ruppin Academic Center, Emek Hefer, Israel"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"101","reference":[{"key":"c1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/07481187.2023.2255854"},{"key":"c2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/cpp.2426"},{"key":"c3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/0033-295X.84.2.191"},{"key":"c4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0272-7358(88)90050-5"},{"key":"c5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2006.09.035"},{"key":"c6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00127-019-01776-w"},{"key":"c7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/sltb.12450"},{"key":"c8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/07481180902979973"},{"key":"c9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2648.2006.03875.x"},{"key":"c11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1027\/0027-5910\/a000027"},{"key":"c12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00787-020-01581-w"},{"key":"c13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaac.2017.10.013"},{"key":"c14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1049731511436015"},{"key":"c15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/pro0000070"},{"key":"c16","volume-title":"Managing suicidal risk: A collaborative approach","author":"Jobes D.
