Outlive is a suicide prevention programme which focuses on young people. Our myth-busting poster campaign across colleges in India helps break common misconceptions about suicide.

Suicide is currently the leading cause of death in young people aged 15-29 in India. But it is preventable, and everyone has a role to play in preventing youth suicide. Understanding suicide better can help end stigma and shame around it.

Testimonials

I liked how it catered a space for open discussion encompassing different areas that make up to being a good facilitators and how it involved very thorough feedbacks for everyone to improve upon. Both the facilitators were understanding and empathetic as well as motivated us to do better throughout the course of our training. They successfully embodied how we should be as facilitators while creating safe spaces to have an open channel of communication - Peer supporters training feedback

This program helped me to look past the preconceived notions and misinformation regarding suicide prevention and gain an evidence based understanding of the struggles and factors affecting suicide especially in young adults. The facilitators were very knowledgeable and created a safe space for the supporters to ask questions and resolve doubts. The in-depth approach really helped me imbibe the training given and use it effectively - Peer supporters training feedback

The workshops were engaging, and the team was very open. I got to earn alot from the other mentors and the collaborative process really added to the learning. The workshops provided structure and a lot of clarity for the project and the expectations and now I am eager to take this forward - Peer supporters training feedback

I learnt how to be more empathetic and also got a real picture of how events can affect individuals. It's hard to accept when one hasn't experienced similar events, but the impact can be detrimental, and in those times it's important to reach out to a safe space. Outlive does that - Peer supporter Volunteering feedback
