“Creating Hope Through Action”
Around the world, an estimated 703,000 people die from suicide each year. There are perhaps 20 people who attempt suicide for every suicide, and many more have significant suicidal thoughts. Suicidal behaviour has a huge influence on millions of people and causes them to experience severe grief.
Every suicidal death is a public health issue that has a significant effect on the people in the area. The number of suicides can be lowered worldwide by increasing knowledge, removing the stigma associated with it, and promoting informed action.
The International Association for Suicide Prevention and the World Health Organization (WHO) created World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) in 2003. Every year on September 10th, organisations, governments, and the general public increase awareness of the problem, decrease stigma and give a clear message that suicide can be avoided.
