ππ πππππππ ππππππππππ πππππ | It is easy to feel insignificant, powerless, and helpless when you find yourself entrapped in a storm that is colossal, raging, and formidable. And sometimes, it is much easier to succumb, be engulfed, and be battered by the storm than to look for our way out.
Su***de has been a long-standing public health issue that affects a lot of individuals. The World Health Organization (2024) reported a figure of around 700,000 cases of death by su***de occurred globally, which is approximately one death per 40 seconds.
In the Philippines, the Philippine Statistics Authority recorded over 4,400 intentional self-harm cases. In the year 2021-2022, the Department of Education documented a staggering 404 deaths by su***de among students.
Su***de has no single cause; rather, it is the amalgamation of numerous factors such as genetics, environment, and life circumstances.
Hence, in celebration of Su***de Prevention Month, we, the πΏππππ’ππ; Movement, are in solidarity with every person and organization in spreading the right information about su***de, hope, and a hand for people to hold onto.
Never be afraid to reach out and talk. There are always people who are willing to listen to your story.
Your story matters. As you are.
