@UnitedGMH @WHO @netshrink Why does suicide need to be decriminalised? To paraphrase @josaforo, 'Why wouldn't we decriminalise? If a person is in distress, why would you add to that with incarceration?' Thank you to all the speakers for their incredible insight this afternoon at the #MHForAll Webinar.
@UnitedGMH @WHO @netshrink How can the general population get involved in decriminalisation efforts? 'We need to be engaging with people with lived experience as well as families because directly hearing from those people is really going to have an impact.' - Natalie Drew @WHO at #MHForAll
IASP Executive Director, Wendy Orchard opens #MHForAll Webinar: 'We are really delighted to co-chair the global Mental Health Action Network Suicide Decriminalisation Working Group with @UnitedGMH'
The decriminalisation of suicide in countries where suicide is still considered a criminal act is a fundamental stepping stone in ensuring individuals have access to appropriate mental health services. Join us today at the #MHForAll webinar with @UnitedGMH
ICYMI ➡️ Next week we'll be exploring suicide decriminalisation, what it means and why it matters in our upcoming #MHForAll webinar. Join us!
