Partnerships for Life: Africa Region
Suicide among young people in Africa is an urgent public health concern, particularly on university campuses where financial stress, social isolation, identity-related distress, and mental health crises converge; with more than a quarter of students across the continent reporting lifetime suicidal ideation. Tackling it calls for prevention that is culturally intelligent as well as clinically informed, peer-based approaches that equip student leaders as trusted gatekeepers, and reform of the punitive laws that still criminalise suicidal behaviour and drive help-seeking underground.
This webinar brings together researchers, practitioners, student leaders, and advocates to confront three interlocking realities: the evidence of a crisis, the promise of peer-based prevention, and the imperative for legal and societal reform. The conversations ahead are rooted in African contexts, shaped by African experiences, and oriented towards African solutions.
