  1. Outlive Youth suicide prevention program addressing the leading cause of death among young people aged 15-29 in India

  2. Our Mission Outlive is led by the Centre for Mental Health Law & Policy, Indian Law Society (CMHLP, ILS) in collaboration with Sangath and Quicksand Design Studio. Launched in 2020, we engage urban youth aged 18-24 with experiences of suicide, self-harm, distress, or mental health challenges. Talking about suicide is the first step to preventing it. While there is no single cause of youth suicides, there are many ways to prevent them through evidence-based interventions and community support.

Three Core Interventions Youth Advocacy Fellowship program empowering young people to drive systemic change by engaging policymakers on suicide prevention in their communities Peer Support Training youth volunteers to provide anonymous chat-based emotional support to those in distress or having thoughts of ending their lives Public Engagement Sharing personal stories, creating resources, and conducting events to build dialogue and break stigma around suicide prevention
