Peace Design Table # 07 Depression & Suicide

IAYSP-Angola organized Peace Design Table # 07 Depression & Suicide on December 6, 2020.

Depression and Suicide was the theme reflected by Ambassador Ermelinda Dala and 8 Peace Makers led by her.

This serious problem can be solved by working on it on the long term.

Suggested actions are:

• Encourage debates about depression in schools, churches and philanthropic groups
• Community houses and reception centers
• Advertise television and radio programs on the subject in question
• Make people aware of at least 3 out of 10 signs of depression.

Suggested solutions:

• The acceptance of the person suffering from the depression
• More media attention on depression and not just waiting for September
• To have self-love so that we can love our neighbor;
• Alertness is required when dealing with cultural issues (example, when father or mother has left …).
