Creating hope through action

World Suicide Prevention Day - 10 September 2021

One in every 100 deaths worldwide is the result of suicide. 

It can affect every one of us. 

Each and every suicide is devastating and has a profound impact on those around them. However, by raising awareness, reducing the stigma around suicide and encouraging well-informed action, we can reduce instances of suicide around the world. 

World Suicide Prevention Day is an opportunity to raise awareness of suicide and to promote action through proven means that will reduce the number of suicides and suicide attempts globally.
