Thank you to the Global Mental Health Action Network for sharing my story this World Suicide Prevention Day 2024.?? World Suicide Prevention Day 2024 calls for a deep exploration of the structural determinants and root causes of suicide, as these issues often go unaddressed in mainstream prevention efforts.?? Suicide is not simply an individual or psychological problem; it is a social and structural issue deeply tied to inequality, marginalization, and systemic oppression.???? Structural determinants such as poverty, racism, ableism, and heteronormativity create environments where marginalized individuals experience heightened vulnerability to mental distress and suicidal thoughts. ?? People facing systemic discrimination—whether based on race, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or class—are often denied access to supportive resources, affordable healthcare, and community-based care, which could otherwise mitigate feelings of hopelessness. ?? To address suicide prevention holistically, we must move beyond individual interventions and focus on dismantling these root causes.?? This involves advocating for equitable policies that reduce economic disparities, ensure universal healthcare, and support housing, education, and employment opportunities for all.?????????? It also requires recognizing the importance of creating spaces that are affirming and inclusive of diverse identities, particularly for Mad and neurodivergent folk.?? Let's fight to address psychiatric and allied intersecting oppressions driving suicide. ?????? Mad power, Mad pride and Mad love ????? https://lnkd.in/g5CQWNC9

On this World Mental Health Day, Suhani Gupta, Founder and President of the Neuro Health Alliance (NHA), wants to share what NHA means to our community.

Our work is grounded in three pillars: Education, empowering people with tools to recognize and address issues like cyberbullying; Advocacy, amplifying voices and sharing personal stories that inspire understanding and connection; and Research, driving progress in early diagnosis and treatment. At NHA, we believe in fostering a world where mental health is treated with compassion and openness, and today, we invite you to join us in making that vision a reality.

Childhood trauma is a silent epidemic that affects millions worldwide. It's time to shine a light on this crucial issue and start the conversation. As someone passionate about mental health advocacy, I believe it's essential to raise awareness about the profound impact of childhood trauma on individuals' lives. From adverse childhood experiences to complex trauma, the effects can be far-reaching, influencing mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. But here's the good news: awareness leads to action, and together, we can make a difference. By fostering open dialogue, offering support, and advocating for trauma-informed care, we can create a safer, more compassionate world for survivors of childhood trauma to heal and thrive. Let's break the silence, spread empathy, and champion resilience. Together, we can be the change-makers in the fight against childhood trauma. #ChildhoodTraumaAwareness #BreakTheSilence #MentalHealthMatters ????
