Geek Speak: Why Is Japan's Suicide Rate So High?

Please join us for the first spring Geek Speak with Yukari Tadano:
Why Is Japan’s Suicide Rate So High?

This Geek Speak will explore the social and cultural factors behind Japan’s historically high suicide rate, including work culture, social expectations, stigma around mental health, and limited access to support. By examining these structural pressures, it aims to promote understanding rather than stereotypes.
These lectures are free and open to the public.
