Sunday 10 September marks World Suicide Prevention Day initially setup up by the World Health Organisation and International Association for Suicide Prevention. The annual awareness day has been setup to promote awareness of the prevention of suicide.
This year’s theme is ‘creating hope through action’.
By encouraging understanding, reaching in and sharing experiences, we want to give people the confidence to take action. To prevent suicide requires us to become a beacon of light to those in pain.
Quoted from the International Association for Suicide Prevention website.
To support the campaign free resources along with suggested posts and graphics are available through the website.
If you choose to hold an event you can submit it on the IASP official events register.
They are encouraging everyone to share posts to join conversation on suicide prevention and to help raise awareness.
