In addition to Barone, the speakers are psychologist Karen Scavacini, CEO of Instituto Vita Alere, Major Diógenes Munhoz, officer of the São Paulo Fire Department and creator of the Suicide Approach and Attempts Course, psychiatrist Luiz Eduardo Siqueira, co-founder of Falla Saúde Mental, psychologist João Paulo Gotardo, psychiatrist Gilberto Labônia, survivor Viviane Simmer, survivor Victória Almeida, administrator of the Instagram profile Não Ideia Vale Uma Vida (@nehuma_ideia_vale_uma_vida), and Father Lício Araújo Vale, who specializes in prevention of suicide and researcher on grief and appreciation of life.
