September 10th is World Su***de Prevention Day Observance.

The triennial theme for World Su***de Prevention Day (2024–2026) theme is “Changing the Narrative on Su***de”. This theme calls on us all to challenge harmful myths, reduce stigma, and foster open, compassionate conversations about su***de. It is about shifting from silence and misunderstanding to openness, empathy, and support — creating environments where people feel able to speak up and seek help.

Let us change the Narrative of Su***de through action and compassion. Every life lost is one too many.

Join us for our Light a Candle by your window at 8pm campaign to honor those whom we have lost and bring hope to those suffering. Let us all do our share in shining a light to this grave public health concern.
