The European Symposium on Suicide and Suicidal Behaviour (ESSSB) takes place every two years and is considered one of the most important international meetings exploring suicidal behaviours and suicide prevention.
This year, beautiful, historic Rome and it’s glorious sunshine provided the perfect setting for a very engaging meeting.
Several members of the NSRF team attended the conference, which took place 28th – 31st August.
The NSRF team exchanged knowledge and experiences with others in attendance, and heard about the latest challenges and innovation surrounding global mental health and suicide prevention.
Below is a list of our team members who attended the conference and the titles of their presentations.
