The European Symposium on Suicide and Suicidal Behaviour (ESSSB) is a biennial congress regarded as one of the most significant international gatherings in suicidology and suicide prevention. ESSSB serves as a dynamic platform where research and practice converge through the voices of academics, clinicians, stakeholders, volunteers, and people with lived experiences.
The 20th edition of the Symposium (ESSSB20) will take place from August 28-31, 2024, in the captivating city of Rome, Italy. The “Eternal City,” where history and modernity blend seamlessly, offers an ideal backdrop for exchanging knowledge, sharing experiences, and fostering innovative approaches.

Partnerships for Life, IASP’s flagship initiative, will be hosting a Pre-Conference Workshop at ESSSB20, available to registered ESSSB20 delegates.

Implementation and evaluation of all strategies are crucial to delivering effective outcomes; PfL encourages peer learning and facilitates mentorship between countries and the programme is underscored by science-informed good practice.
The Partnerships for Life Pre-Conference Workshop will explore the context, research gaps, integration and needs specific to the European region.
