💛 World Suicide Prevention Day – 10th September 2025

On 10th September, we join the International Association for Suicide Prevention in marking World Suicide Prevention Day — a day for hope, action, and connection.

Why It Matters

  • Suicide is a leading cause of death worldwide.
  • Every life lost is a tragedy affecting families, friends, and whole communities.
  • By talking openly and reaching out, we can help reduce stigma and save lives.

Spot the Signs Someone May Be Struggling

  • Talking about feeling hopeless or being a burden
  • Withdrawal from friends, family, and activities
  • Changes in sleep, mood, or behaviour
  • Increased use of alcohol or drugs
