@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
