Málaga launches mental health and suicide prevention guide

The Diputación de Málaga has launched a new resource guide focused on suicide prevention and the promotion of mental health within the province. Developed through a technical committee, the initiative includes contributions from various entities such as the Junta de Andalucía, the Málaga City Council, the University of Málaga, and several specialized psychological and social associations.

The guide aims to make mental health tools more accessible to the public, providing assistance for both immediate crises and non-urgent healthcare needs. It features 38 social entities working on mental health in the province. To mark Mental Health Month in October, the Diputación is also running a campaign titled ‘Tu vida importa, busca ayuda hoy’ (Your life matters, seek help today).
