Significance Of Today

Today September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day. This day shines a spotlight on a critical issue, aiming to reduce the stigma around talking about suicide and to increase awareness about how we can prevent it.

It’s a day when organizations, governments, and people across the globe come together to send a clear message: actions can create hope, and it’s possible to prevent suicide.

The importance of World Suicide Prevention Day lies in its goal to save lives. More than 703,000 people die by suicide annually worldwide.

That’s about one person every 40 seconds. By dedicating a day to this cause, we aim to spark conversations that can lead to meaningful change. It encourages us to reach out, listen, and support struggling people. We can all play a part in reducing these numbers through awareness and action.
