The Project Suicide

The Project Suicide (TPS) is a non-profit organization committed to addressing suicide prevention and mental health awareness in Pakistan.

Our mission is to challenge mental health stigma, empower communities through psychoeducation, and provide accessible support for those in need. Over the years, TPS has built strong collaborations with local and international organisations, enabling us to expand our impact and reach.

TPS is dedicated to raising awareness and fostering sustainable mental health practices. Our flagship initiative, the TPS Ambassadorship Program, equips university students with skills in leadership, project management, and psychoeducation. These ambassadors lead grassroots efforts to reduce stigma and promote help-seeking behavior.

So far, TPS has engaged over 12,000 individuals, referred hundreds to psychological services, and directly saved 19 lives. To further our mission, we are launching QALB Psychological Services, a platform providing affordable and accessible mental health care, ensuring support reaches those who need it most.

We want to join the Zero Suicide Alliance (ZSA) because its mission to reduce suicide through education, training, and systemic change aligns with our work at The Project Suicide (TPS). As a non-profit initiative based in Pakistan, we have been addressing the significant challenges posed by mental health stigma, limited access to care, and cultural barriers to help-seeking.

Over the past two years, TPS has engaged over 12,000 individuals in psychoeducation programmes, directly saved 19 lives, and implemented initiatives like the TPS Ambassadorship Program and QALB Psychological Services, which focus on sustainable mental health solutions. Joining ZSA would allow us to enhance these efforts by accessing world-class training resources, integrating evidence-based practices, and collaborating with a global network committed to achieving zero suicide.

We are particularly inspired by ZSA’s focus on empowering communities and transforming healthcare systems to prioritize mental health. By working together, we believe we can amplify our impact and create scalable solutions to ensure that no one feels unsupported in their darkest moments.

We look forward to collaborating with ZSA to bring hope and resilience to those affected by mental health challenges and work toward the shared vision of a world where suicide is preventable.

At The Project Suicide, we pledge to be relentless in our pursuit of a world where no life is lost to suicide. We are committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health, empowering individuals to seek help, and fostering inclusive communities that support resilience and hope.

Through awareness programmes, accessible mental health services, and collaborative partnerships, we strive to ensure that everyone has the tools and support they need to overcome despair. We stand united in our mission to save lives, promote understanding, and create a society where mental health is prioritised, and no one feels alone in their struggle.

We pledge to continue our efforts with compassion, innovation, and an unwavering belief in the power of collective action. Together, we can challenge despair and prevent suicide.
