It’s no secret that the pandemic brought with it a global mental health crisis that’s been tough for most to navigate through. For NGO Sangath, it was all the more reason to promote a healthy conversation around the topic. To mark World Suicide Prevention Day, through their It’s Okay To Talk project, the NGO will host a two day-long series that will include virtual mental health workshops, talks and art exhibitions to draw attention towards suicide prevention and mental health support. “Suicide prevention is not completely related to mental health but it sits quite adjacent to it. Prevention might require a number of systemic and social interventions; but a large number of suicides can be prevented if people are given timely access to support,” explains Sweta Pal, communications specialist at the Goa-based NGO.
