Today, we observe #WorldSuicidePreventionDay with the theme "Changing the Narrative on Suicide" and the call to action "Start the Conversation." This theme emphasizes the importance of reducing stigma and fostering open dialogue about suicide prevention (WHO, 2024). Every conversation, regardless of its size, plays a crucial role in creating a more supportive and understanding society. Let's break the silence, raise awareness, and strive towards a world where suicide is no longer considered a solution to life's challenges.

As we mark World Suicide Prevention Day, we emphasize the importance of reducing stigma around suicide and fostering open, supportive conversations. The theme for this year, 'Changing the Narrative on Suicide,’ encourages us to 'Start the Conversation.' By creating safe spaces and fostering understanding, we can make a significant impact in preventing suicide. Let’s use this time to listen, engage, and support one another.  Together, we can help save lives.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Since its establishment, World Suicide Prevention Day has grown into a global movement, uniting people worldwide in a common cause – to prevent suicide. For the last 20 years, it has been successful in raising awareness about the issue, reducing stigma, and encouraging action to prevent suicide and suicidal behaviour. It has been a significant day observed in more than 60 countries with hundreds of events aimed at reaching national organizations, governments, and the public. This year’s theme is all about ‘Creating Hope Through Action.’ So, let’s work together with our family, friends, healthcare workers, and religious and political leaders to prevent suicide through active counseling and support. It’s time we empowered others to be in charge of their lives and value the one life they have. #worldsuicidepreventionday #suicideprevention
