Today is World Su***de Prevention Day.

• Su***de is a major public health problem with far-reaching social, emotional and economic consequences. It is estimated that there are currently more than 720,000 su***des per year worldwide, and we know that each su***de profoundly affects many more people. Su***de remains a critical global issue, affecting individuals and communities worldwide.

• Changing the narrative on su***de aims to inspire individuals, communities, organizations, and governments to engage in open and honest discussions about su***de and suicidal behavior. By initiating these vital conversations, we can break down barriers, raise awareness, and create better cultures of understanding and support.
