    DescriptionMen in prisons across the North West could benefit from a new talking therapy programme from the University of Manchester.

    The team will study the effects of Cognitive Behavioural Suicide Prevention therapy within prisons.

    It is a talking therapy delivered once or twice weekly in one-on-one sessions, each lasting 30-60 minutes with up to 20 sessions in total.

    The therapy supports patients to develop a personal understanding of the reasons for suicide.
