Summary

This study tested a 12-week class called 'Living with Hope' for people who recently attempted suicide. The class teaches coping skills based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Researchers wanted to see if it could lower suicidal thoughts, hopelessness, and depression. The study included 26 adults who had made a suicide attempt in the past 3 months.

Active substance: Living with Hope (12-week CBT-based psychoeducational skills class)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a practical, low-cost class to help people cope after a suicide attempt and reduce suicidal thoughts.
What could go wrong: This is a very small, early study with only 26 participants and no control group. Results may not apply to everyone, and the class may not prevent future attempts.
