🌍 World Suicide Prevention Day 2024 🌍

🗓️ Date: September 10th

📢 Theme: ‘Change the Narrative’ & #StartTheConversation

The global call to action for World Suicide Prevention Day 2024 is to ‘Change the Narrative’ and #StartTheConversation. The aim is to inspire individuals, communities, organisations, and governments to engage in open and honest discussions about suicide. By initiating these vital conversations, we can break down barriers, raise awareness, and create better cultures of understanding and support.

Suicide is a major public health challenge, with more than 700,000 deaths each year globally. Each suicide has far-reaching social, emotional, and economic consequences, and deeply affects individuals and communities worldwide. Together, we can inspire change and build better cultures of care and compassion. Remember, your voice can make a difference! Let's #StartTheConversation and work towards a world where everyone feels supported.
