Amazing Potential Ltd will on Tuesday, 29th September 2026, host a virtual conversation from exploring the role different sectors can play in suicide prevention and building stronger support systems.
Suicide prevention is not the responsibility of one profession, institution, or individual. It requires families, schools, health professionals, communities, workplaces, government institutions and the creative sector to recognise their role in creating environments where people can seek help, feel supported and remain connected.
It is against this backdrop that Amazing Potential Ltd (APL) will host its next Conversations for Change session, titled “Suicide Prevention: Everyone Has a Role.”
The conversation will bring together professionals and community voices from different backgrounds to explore how different parts of society can contribute to suicide prevention.
A conversation beyond the health sector
While mental health and healthcare professionals have an important role in suicide prevention, prevention also happens in everyday spaces.
A teacher may be among the first people to notice changes in a learner. A family member may recognise when someone is struggling. A community champion may provide a listening ear and help someone connect with support. An artist may use their platform to open conversations that are often difficult to have.
The upcoming conversation will therefore look at suicide prevention as an ecosystem, where different sectors have different responsibilities but can work towards a shared goal.
The discussion will explore five key areas:
- Understanding suicide prevention
- The role of families and communities
- The role of schools and educators
- The contribution of health, government and other institutions
- Building a connected support ecosystem
Voices from different sectors
The conversation will feature Peter Waithaka, a Mindset and Behaviour Change Coach and APL Co-Founder; Wigan Kemp, an Artist and School Teacher; and Maureen Juma, a Community Champion.
The session will be moderated by Nanjala Kabira, Clinical Psychologist, and Andare James, Programs Lead at Amazing Potential Ltd Kenya.
Bringing these different perspectives into one conversation is intended to create space for participants to examine what suicide prevention can look like within their own families, institutions, professions and communities.
Why this conversation matters
For APL, the conversation forms part of its broader commitment to elevating human capacity and creating spaces where people can engage with issues affecting individuals and communities.
Suicide prevention requires more than awareness. It also requires connection, listening, early recognition, appropriate support and collaboration between the people and institutions around an individual.
The conversation will provide an opportunity for participants to reflect on a simple but important question:
What role can I play in suicide prevention?
The event will take place on Tuesday, 29th September 2026, from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM EAT.
