@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

@UnitedGMH @WHO "Despite what other laws might say, anyone who attempts suicide is to be presumed to be suffering from severe stress & therefore offered treatment. There is a general groundswell of opinion in India that suicide needs to be decriminalised." - @netshrink #MHForAll

@UnitedGMH @WHO Discussing the motivation behind the bill in Pakistan, Senator Shahadat Awan comments: "There are many factors that contribute to suicide and we are unanimous that it is a disease & it should be considered as such. It should be treated as a disease, not an offence." #MHForAll
