Description
Letícia Lopes de Figueiredo leads a team of nine in a 2026 pilot study of group therapy to prevent suicide in Brazil. The therapy is a brief form of cognitive-behavioral care reshaped for groups in a public mental health clinic. The question was whether such a program can run there and be welcomed.
Twenty-seven adults joined two cohorts for 16 weekly group sessions. Attendance met the targets, no harm tied to the program was logged, and those who rated it scored their willingness to recommend it high. Shared pain and a sense of hope stood out in interviews. Scores for suicidal thoughts eased slightly over the course.
