World Suicide Prevention Day – 10th September 2024

Join us in Raising Awareness and Promoting Mental Health

On 10th September, we come together to observe World Suicide Prevention Day. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about suicide prevention, spreading hope and supporting those affected by suicide.

Suicide is a major public health problem with far-reaching social, emotional and economic consequences. It is estimated that there are currently more than 700,000 suicides per year worldwide, and we know that each suicide profoundly affects many more people. Suicide remains a critical global issue, affecting individuals and communities worldwide.

Changing the narrative on suicide aims to inspire individuals, communities, organizations, and governments to engage in open and honest discussions about suicide and suicidal behaviour. By initiating these vital conversations, we can break down barriers, raise awareness, and create better cultures of understanding and support.
