DYK that #suicide claims more than 720,000 lives every year?

Each life lost leaves a profound impact on families, friends, colleagues and entire communities.

This #WorldSuicidePreventionDay, let’s talk openly about suicide to challenge harmful myths, reduce stigma and foster compassionate conversations.

We must move from silence to openness, from stigma to empathy, and from neglect to support. We must create environments where people feel safe to speak up and seek help.

Shifting the narrative on suicide also means driving systemic change, where governments prioritise and invest in quality mental health care and policies to ensure everyone gets the support they need.
