Enhancing wellbeing on an individual and population-level is identified as an important protective factor for suicide. This can be achieved by strengthening social, economic, and environmental factors that foster healthy, safe, secure, and fulfilling lives. Importantly, improving wellbeing goes beyond mitigating risk factors and focuses on universal interventions that equip individuals with the knowledge and skills to thrive.
