Developing and implementing legislation that decriminalises suicide helps to reduce social stigma, remove barriers to obtaining adequate mental health care, and foster suicide prevention activities.

Welcome to the official X page of the Caribbean Suicide Decriminalization Coalition!🌟 We’re here to advocate for change, save lives, and support mental health as a human right. Follow us on all socials and join the movement to #DecriminalizeSuicide!

This week, we’re at the inaugural IASP Pan-American Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota! We’re eager to network with fellow Mental Health professionals, leaders, and advocates as we explore how we can #ChangeTheNarrative around suicide. #IASPMINNEAPOLIS2024

Suicide prevention, especially through inclusive rights-based legislation, is a priority for the Caribbean coalition. We are looking forward to connecting with advocates, experts, and people with lived experiences, to achieve Pan-American Decriminalisation of Suicide!
