At the 31st IASP World Congress held at the Gold Coast in September we are launching a series of exciting events designed to put Early Career Researchers in the spotlight.
The International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) will be partnering with Australia’s National Mental Health Commission for the IASP 31st World Congress to be held in Gold Coast, Australia in September this year.
IASP and the World Health Organization (WHO) recognise the need to encourage and support countries to develop, implement and evaluate national suicide prevention strategies.
The EU-funded “Mental Health Promotion and Intervention in Occupational Settings” project, known as MENTUPP, has just launched its Pilot Study to test its newly developed Hub.
Many countries are observing International #MensHealthWeek2021 – This is so important whilst we all face the longer-term impacts of #COVID19.
Excitingly the 2021 Suicide and Self-harm Early and Mid-Career Researchers’ Forum starts today!
👉Registration is at capacity but you can follow #EMCRF21 for updates
Best of luck to all those involved, especially IASP ECG co-Chair @zortea_tiago & IASP President @suicideresearch
As part of Suicide and Self-harm Early and Mid-Career Researchers’ Forum (tomorrow) we will live stream our panel discussion on suicide research.
16.30 UK-time.

Current data does not provide a global picture of the challenges that countries face. We call upon member states to remain vigilant & reactive to changes in suicide trends & to include #suicideprevention in #COVID19 response & recovery plans. @WHO #WHA74 https://t.co/JMkx4CCUU3
IASP encourages the sharing of research & evidence related to #suicideprevention so as to strengthen & inform collective efforts to address this issue. @WHO #WHA74 Read the full statement here: https://t.co/JMkx4CCUU3
Nursing homes faced extensive challenges, e.g., lack of equipment & testing, staff leaving nursing homes for hospitals meaning remaining staff were overworked & under resourced. Highlighting the need to also support healthcare workers in nursing homes #TRIPLEi2021
3Suicide rates tend to be higher in older adults and nursing home residents may be particularly vulnerable to suicidality. COVID-19 increased these vulnerabilities by increasing feelings of loneliness and reducing the opportunity for social support #TRIPLEi2021
3Thank you Professor Lai Fong Chan for a beautiful presentation touching senstively on a topic that is close to many of those here with us today. We must continue to urge for more funding and resources for #SuicidePrevention within healthcare worker support. #TRIPLEi2021
