World Su***de Prevention Day 🌎 was established in 2003 by the International Association for Su***de Prevention in partnership with the World Health Organisation and takes place on 10th September.

This year’s theme is a triennial and covers 2025 – 2026 ‘CHANGING THE NARRATIVE ON SUICIDE’

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.

According to ‘The World Health Organisation’ changing the narrative also means driving systemic change. It calls for su***de prevention and mental health to be a priority in public policy.

We are all urging governments and institutions to act.
This includes developing and implementing evidence based strategies, improving access to quality care, and ensuring that those in distress receive the support they need.

World Su***de Prevention Day focuses global attention on su***de prevention, uniting communities, organisations and governments
with the shared belief that su***des are preventable. 💛
