About the Event

Suicide Prevention Day, observed on September 10th, is a global effort to raise awareness about suicide, reduce stigma, and promote meaningful conversations on mental health. With over 700,000 lives lost to suicide annually, it is the second leading cause of death among 15-29-year- olds. This devastating public health issue affects millions worldwide, impacting families and communities. By understanding the underlying causes, such as mental illness, trauma, and social isolation, and by offering support, we can help prevent suicide. This day encourages unity, sharing resources, and prioritizing mental health care to create a more compassionate world.
