💬 Changing the narrative on su***de starts with conversation.
This World Su***de Prevention Day, the theme “Changing the Narrative on Su***de” and the call to “Start the Conversation” remind us of the importance of breaking stigma, encouraging open conversations and making it easier for people to seek support.
But lasting change also requires action on the wider conditions that shape mental health.
Through JA PreventNCD, partners are working to strengthen a Mental Health in All Policies approach. This means looking beyond healthcare alone and considering how decisions in areas such as education, employment, housing, social protection and local environments can influence mental health and wellbeing.
It reflects a broader focus within JA PreventNCD on the structural and societal factors that shape health, and on creating policies and environments that make healthier lives easier and more achievable.
On ***dePreventionDay, we join WHO in calling for greater awareness, open dialogue and action to help change the narrative on su***de.
