About the International Network for Transcultural Suicidology
International Network for Transcultural Suicidology was established in 2023 at the initiative of researchers at Karolinska Institutet. It was founded in response to the growing number of displaced individuals worldwide who live under uncertain conditions, face increased risk of mental illness, and have limited access to care. The network addresses issues of healthcare, prevention, and public health interventions for refugees and other migrants, ethnic minorities and indigenous people. The aim is to enhance understanding of the social and cultural factors that influence health and help-seeking behaviours, and to develop appropriate public health interventions to meet these needs. The network is open to researchers, clinicians and others who work with transcultural issues and suicide prevention, as well as communities with concerns in the area and users of mental health services. It is transdisciplinary and open for different professions.
