We are back from the 6th #ZeroSuicide International Summit, energised by new connections and a shared commitment to suicide prevention. 🌍 It was great to connect with global experts, advocates, and policymakers to share best practices in suicide prevention. Key highlights from our team: 🗣️ Shayni Geffen moderated a panel with Global Mental Health Action Network's Tiwa Ayeni on how lived experience can guide policy and system change for more relevant care. ⚖️ Global Mental Health Action Network (GMHAN)'s Suicide Prevention Working Group Co-Chairs Sia Edward and Abdullah Al Harun presented on why decriminalising suicide is vital for prevention. 🤝 Aastha S. shared how our advocacy at United for Global Mental Health—from climate to human rights—aims to help people access care before, during and after a crisis. 👏 Thank you to the amazing organisers, Zero Suicide International and Henry Ford Health for convening a space to advance suicide prevention. #ZeroSuicide #MentalHealth #GlobalHealth

We have just returned from the 6th 0 Suicide International Summit where experts, advocates and policymakers from around the world met to share best practices in suicide prevention. I moderated a panel with G Man's Tiwa Ayeni on how lived experience can guide policy and system change in order to deliver better, more relevant care. Global Mental health Action Network. Suicide prevention working group. Coaches Sia Edwards and Haroon Abdullah presented posters showcasing why decriminalising suicide is essential for suicide prevention. And us Tassetti highlighted how our advocacy work at United From Climate Change to Rights strives to help people get the care they need before, during and after a crisis. So wonderful. Organizers told us to take lots of selfies and we were happy to oblige. And if you'd like to help? Advocate for suicide prevention. Follow along to see how.
