World Suicide Prevention Day 2020

10 September

World Suicide Prevention Day is commemorated on 10 September to promote worldwide commitment and action to prevent suicides.

How to Observe World Suicide Prevention Day 2020 amid COVID-19?

The awareness created by World Suicide Prevention Day is especially important during the COVID-19 pandemic. This pandemic has changed the world and all of our daily lives. World Suicide Prevention Day aims to raise awareness about the importance of life and that suicide is not the solution to any problem. So, even if you have to stay at home, you can talk about suicide prevention to people you know or even on your social media platform. 

Talking about this issue is an essential first step in ridding society of the idea that mental health issues or any other serious problem, experienced by individuals and families, should remain hidden.

World Suicide Prevention Day provides many resources for people to learn more about the reasons for suicide and how to prevent them. There are countless resources around you like professional counsellors, books, films, and organisations to point you in a more hopeful direction. Knowledge is not only power; knowledge can save someone's life.
