About
Suicide is the leading cause of death among young people aged 15-29 in India. Suicide is a result of different factors which affect a young person’s well-being. While there is no one cause of youth suicides, there are many ways to prevent it.
Outlive is a four-year (2020-2024) suicide prevention programme jointly implemented by the Centre for Mental Health Law & Policy, Indian Law Society (ILS), Sangath and Quicksand Design Studio and is supported by Comic Relief, UK. Outlive addresses urban youth suicide in India by engaging young people aged 18-24, in particular youth with experiences related to suicide or self-harm, distress or mental health problems and belonging to marginalized communities in Delhi, Mumbai and Pune.
A collection of real stories of youth in India, collected as short films and text interviews.
