As we prepare for the IASP 33rd World Congress, we acknowledge the profound importance and sensitivity of discussing suicide. To ensure our conversations are conducted with the utmost care and respect, we encourage you to view the language guidance videos on safe language practices. This resource has been designed in collaboration with StandBy Support After Suicide to help us navigate the topic of suicide with empathy and responsibility, fostering a supportive environment for all attendees.
