Our work is based on the foundation and belief that suicide is preventable and everyone has a role to play in preventing suicide. Loving, with the support of Ahmedabad Police, Counsellors, Psychiatrists and Team have dedicated to the prevention of suicide by creating many awareness programs on World Suicide Prevention day on 10 September of Every Year to create awareness about Suicide, its causes, symptoms and prevention.

Dr Ronak Gandhi, The Founder of Loving - Center for Transformation is a Medical Doctor and Trained in Meditations, Therapy, Hypnosis Zen and Counselling has worked with many affected people suffering from depression, failures, relationship issues and suicidal tendencies.
He suggests that, "If we have one true friend in life with whom you can share and open your heart for your issues, he/she will not let you die in despair. Expression is the opposite of Depression. Sharing and Talking about one's issue and opening up to the other will go at a great length in getting a better insight into the solution."

Recently as published by the Economic Times, Suicide was the leading cause for over 300 “non-coronavirus deaths” reported in India due to distress triggered by the nationwide lockdown, revealed a new set of data compiled by a group of researchers.
There have been a staggering number of suicides, caused by fear of infection, loneliness, lack of freedom of movement, and alcohol withdrawal during the lockdown.
"We should make up our minds that we ourselves will never commit suicide. The kind of people who commit suicide either worry too much about the world, or try to hide their faults from the world. We should never pretend to be what we are not, or try to do what is clearly beyond us." - Mahatma Gandhi
