Watch: Breaking the Silence – A Crucial Conversation On World Suicide Prevention Day
On World Suicide Prevention Day, a momentous occasion that seeks to raise awareness about the pressing issue of suicide and its prevention, the dedicated psychologists and psychotherapists from Paths Clinic have come together to contribute in a powerful way.
The Paths Clinic team, which includes esteemed therapists Charlene Borg, Darryl Formosa, Maria Mifsud, Mel McElhatton, and Charlene Camilleri Duca, have taken a proactive step by recording an enlightening video. This video serves as a guide on how to appropriately approach and support someone who may be grappling with suicidal thoughts.

The critical message they wish to convey is simple yet profound: “Break the Silence, Save a Life.”
Stigmas and taboos often surround the topic of suicide, making it a difficult conversation for many. However, these therapists emphasise the imperative need to eliminate these barriers. They believe in fostering an environment where conversations about suicide are normalised, devoid of judgment, and full of understanding.
The overarching goal of this initiative is to promote open conversations. By doing so, we can provide the necessary support, making a genuine difference in someone’s life. As the therapists urge, we shouldn’t keep secrets around such a grave matter. It’s time to open up, connect, and make an impact where it matters most.
