Position Paper on Proposed Senate Bill 258 or the Youth Suicide Prevention Act

We recognize this legislation as an additional measure toward strengthening the policy framework for youth mental health in the Philippines. While we support the bill’s objectives, we emphasize that its provisions must be designed to integrate and complement with the existing Republic Act No. 11036, or the Philippine Mental Health Act. Suicide is a complex public health issue that require evidence-based and holistic frameworks to be prevented.
