Mind Management Foundation, a non-governmental organisation that provides remedies to issues bothering mental health, said the programme was designed to assist the government in tackling the societal menace.
Emmanuel said with an estimated statistic of one in every four people in the society, mental health remains the root cause of suicide. “This reach would go a long way toward touching the lives of not only our police officers who would attend the training but also members of their families and friends. This is possible because, at the end of the training, the mindset of the officers would have changed for the better.”
He also called on government and corporate bodies to help them in the fight against the dangerous trend.
