World Su***de Prevention Day today- 10th September. Let's all try to play our part to support those in need.
On World Su***de Prevention Day, one message stands clear: su***de is preventable.
Every conversation counts. Talking openly, listening with empathy, and breaking the silence can save lives.
Prevention takes all of us; families, schools, workplaces, communities, and governments all working together.
✅Individuals can help by reaching out with empathy, starting open conversations, and sharing their own experiences to show others they are not alone and that support is available.

✅Communities can foster connection, organize awareness and support events, use respectful advocacy, and ensure people know where to find help. https://www.emro.who.int/mhps/su***de.html
✅Organizations can foster supportive workplaces with protective policies, open dialogue on mental health, and training to recognize and respond to warning signs.

✅Governments can prevent su***de by adopting a whole-of-government approach, implementing evidence-based national strategies, engaging communities, and updating laws to protect mental health and decriminalize su***de.
