We are excited to invite abstracts for Paper and Poster presentation for consideration and inclusion into the scientific programme. The theme for this conference,“Suicide Prevention: A Multi-sectoral Approach for Sustainable Solutions”, was conceived with the need for a holistic approach to suicide prevention in mind. By convening global experts and researchers from various mental health streams, along with people with lived experience we aim to contribute to the growing body of research and best practices for a multi-sectoral framework of suicide prevention.
