In November 2025, Connecting Trust, an NGO dedicated to suicide prevention and mental health, is celebrating its 20th anniversary by hosting a 3-day international conference titled 'Fresh Perspectives on Suicide Prevention and Mental Health'. The conference, taking place from November 28-30 in Pune, India, is designed for mental health professionals, volunteers, social workers, students, and NGOs.
The event aims to foster open dialogue, shared insight, and collective action in the field of suicide prevention. Notable mental health experts at the national and international level will bring diverse perspectives, covering topics from mental health and suicide prevention to lived experiences, youth, education, and community work.
According to Co-managing Trustee Sandy Andrade, the complex nature of suicide requires deeper societal connection, as distress often builds long before a crisis becomes visible. The conference will feature panel discussions, keynote addresses, and plenary sessions to explore these critical issues and identify ways to build resilience and support systems.
