Reflections from the IASP 32nd World Congress
from the Slovene Centre for Suicide Research, Andrej Marusic Institute, University of Primorska
A long road has been travelled since the Slovene Centre for Suicide Research (UP IAM) proposed to host the IASP World Congress. Now it has closed the doors and we are reflecting on the journey.
The World Congress aims to put the issue of suicide on the agenda globally and regionally, but it also seeks to show that action must be taken locally. The traditional biennial IASP World Congress is an opportunity to engage with a diverse community of academics, researchers, clinicians, crisis workers, lived experience, volunteers and all associated with suicide prevention or working within suicide prevention related topics. It represents a rich platform for spreading knowledge and sharing local, national and international strategies for suicide prevention. The IASP World Congress is a multi-sectorial event highlighting multi-disciplinary approaches to preventing suicide in all its complexity.
