Suicide has become a major public health issue throughout the world. More than a million people kill themselves every year. More than half occur in Asia. This relatively high suicide rate compared to that of Western countries, paired with Asia’s large population, makes suicide a significant concern. Join us for a discussion onunique and practical evidence-based practices for suicide prevention in Asia.
