WELCOME MESSAGE

Dear Participants,

We are thrilled to welcome you to the 1st International Conference on Suicide Prevention, hosted by the N-SPRITE Centre at NIMHANS!

Suicide is one of the most urgent global public health crises of our time. But after years of pioneering work at NIMHANS through multiple flagship projects, we have seen first hand that prevention is truly possible when we unite in consistent, collective action. This realization inspired the launch of N-SPRITE (NIMHANS Suicide Prevention, Research, Implementation, Training, and Engagement Centre) on World Suicide Prevention Day, September 10, 2024. Our mission is to transform fragmented efforts into a collaborative force for greater impact by integrating research, real-world implementation, training, and community engagement to tackle stigma and save lives.

The theme of ‘Suicide Prevention: A Multisectoral Approach for Sustainable Solutions’ reflects our commitment to an international interdisciplinary collaboration. We aim to spark innovation in research, reimagine stronger policies, build lasting networks, and strengthen the global momentum in suicide prevention.

We invite you all to engage actively, listen with openness, and leave inspired to advance effective and sustainable solutions in your work and communities.

With warmest regards,

Dr Anish V Cherian

On behalf of the Organizing Committee
