About Us
The Indonesian Association for Suicide Prevention (INASP) was established in 2022, following a situational analysis as part of the first national suicide prevention strategy led by our founding President, Dr. Sandersan (Sandy) Onie. This project, done in collaboration with the Directorate of Mental Health from the Ministry of Health and WHO Indonesia, revealed two key findings. The first was that due to the absence of quality research, many suicide prevention efforts in the country were not data driven with many efforts only copying what was done overseas despite clear differences in culture. Secondly, that suicide prevention efforts were scattered, uncoordinated and highly repetitive. Given the large, and multifaceted nature of the issue, no single individual or organization can improve Indonesia’s suicide condition. Thus, INASP was established, supported by the Emotional Health for All Founation, to tackle these two issues.
