Roundtable: Prevention of suicidal behavior

Round table organized by APSAS in which they propose a transformation into active guardians of mental health, to have the ability to foresee potential suicidal behaviors. Suicide is the first cause of unnatural death among the youth group in Catalonia in recent years. Without a doubt, it is essential to initiate preventive public policies that, as empirically demonstrated, are the most effective tool we have to increase the prevention of suicidal behavior and consummation. Therefore, it is a public health problem and is predictable. As individuals who live in society, we are witnesses to the mental health of the people around us.
