what are we doing about it and how
We believe that suicide prevention programmes for young people should be developed with their active participation, especially those who have experienced suicide in their personal lives.
Over the past year, we have spoken to over 50 young people from diverse backgrounds to understand their experiences and ideas on youth suicide prevention. Based on their thoughts and feedback we have co-developed three suicide prevention initiatives.
A national public engagement campaign to share information and resources to increase awareness and encourage youth to talk about suicide.
A network of youth peer supporters trained by Outlive to provide emotional support through a chat-based mobile platform to youth in distress or having thoughts of ending their life.
10 youth advocates who will be trained and supported by Outlive to engage with policymakers and participate in policy processes for youth suicide prevention.
