She continued, “Remember that there are all these different NGOs in Guyana and religious organisations doing similar work so if everybody come together and come up with a plan of action, it’ll be more effective.” She said too that working together removed repetitiveness.“So, we’re bringing stakeholders from across the country; civil society as well as the private sector, the Government and religious communities. We’re bringing in everybody and we’re going to sit down and really tackle this thing,” she added.Furthermore, Ahamad explained that the conference will focus on a number of areas including suicide prevention, domestic violence and all forms of violence, teenage pregnancy, rape and incest, and alcohol and drug abuse. These issues would all have links to suicide, Ahamad said.“All of these issues can lead to depression which can in turn lead to suicidal thoughts and then eventually attempting suicide,” she stressed.The conference is expected to be a whole day affair where issues will be presented by technical teams. There will be also be four plenary sessions, Ahamad said, with a presentation and final discussion.Meanwhile, a number of ministers have already come onboard, among them Minister of Social Protection Volda Lawrence; and Minister of Public Security Khemraj Ramjattan.
