why is public engagement important for suicide prevention?

We believe that those with lived experience should drive the conversation on suicide prevention and be involved in every stage of our work.

We share personal stories by youth, create multimedia resources, and conduct youth-focused public events, awareness workshops and social media campaigns to build dialogue on suicide prevention.Write to us on contact@outlive.in to know more about our programme.

what activities does Outlive conduct?

• Public events: Panel discussions, talks, film screenings and art exhibitions to facilitate dialogue and enhance awareness about young people’s mental health and suicide prevention.
• Workshops: Interactive workshops aimed to build participants’ literacy and awareness of suicide prevention strategies, how to cope with distress, and avenues for help-seeking during crisis
• Public poster campaign:Outlive has created a set of posters to de-stigmatise suicide, bust myths and encourage help-seeking. These can be downloaded and printed for use in public spaces or for distribution free of cost.
