World Suicide Prevention Day (Hybrid) Seminar

The 18th Annual World Suicide Prevention Day Seminar is a hybrid, full-day event focused on strengthening suicide prevention through meaningful communication, compassionate listening, and responsible use of technology. Guided by the theme “Let’s Talk, Let’s Listen, Let’s Prevent Suicide: Keep the Conversation Alive in a Digital World,” the seminar will explore emerging challenges and opportunities related to social media, artificial intelligence, digital mental health supports, trauma, and post-disaster intervention. Participants will benefit from expert presentations, interactive discussions, practical role-play activities, and strategies for recognizing distress, reducing stigma, initiating difficult conversations, and responding effectively to individuals at risk. The seminar emphasizes that suicide prevention is a shared and ongoing responsibility requiring strong human connection, ethical digital engagement, and coordinated community action.
