Suicide Prevention Orientation and Youth Group Meeting Organized by Change Action Nepal

On 14th October, Change Action Nepal (CAN) conducted a “Suicide Prevention Orientation and Youth Group Meeting” at its central office. The main purpose of the program was to raise awareness about mental health, promote emotional well-being, and encourage young people to support one another during difficult times.

The orientation included discussions on the causes of suicide, early warning signs, and the importance of seeking help. Mental health facilitators emphasized that many individuals suffer in silence due to stigma, fear, or lack of understanding. Therefore, the session highlighted the need to listen, show empathy, and provide safe spaces for open conversations.

Youth participants shared their experiences and learned practical strategies such as stress management, peer support, and building resilience. The meeting also encouraged teamwork and collective responsibility within the community to prevent mental health crises.

Change Action Nepal expressed its commitment to continue such programs in the future to create a supportive society where no one feels alone. The event successfully motivated the youth to become mental health advocates and help others in need.
