More About The Webinar

In recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day, join us for a conversation on suicide prevention – a topic that is often surrounded by silence and taboo. This webinar, led by Psychotherapist Maria Postolache, a member of Kara Connect emergency team, will focus on how individuals, families, and workplaces can support mental well-being and bring hope to those struggling.

Suicide prevention is everyone’s responsibility. Your friend, a family member, your colleague or your employees can be struggling without you even knowing. This webinar is designed for a diverse audience and it will provide you with resource and knowledge on how to recognise warning signs, open a conversation, provide support, and create a safe space for those who are struggling. Let’s break the silence and change the narrative together!
