Interview on IB3 Notícies Matí: An Open Conversation about Suicide Prevention
On March 13, 2025, I had the opportunity to be invited to IB3 Notícies Matí to address a crucial topic: suicide prevention. In a context where mental health continues to be a challenge for many people, I wanted to share my vision on how to detect warning signs and act effectively.
During the interview, I highlighted the importance of talking openly about suicide to eliminate stigma and foster supportive spaces. "Listening without judgment and offering professional help in time can make a difference in someone's life." I also mentioned some of the most common risk factors, such as social isolation, drastic changes in behavior, and expressions of hopelessness. Additionally, I shared key strategies for prevention, including the importance of strengthening support networks, fostering communication in family and social environments, and seeking professional help when necessary. "We are not alone in this journey. There are resources and professionals willing to help." If you missed the interview, you can watch it on the IB3 website. And if you or someone you know is going through a difficult situation, don't hesitate to seek help. Suicide prevention is a collective effort, and every conversation can save a life.
