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
