Every year, on the 10th September, communities come together for World Suicide Prevention Day to raise awareness of how we can create a world where fewer people die by suicide. The theme this year is “Changing the Narrative on Suicide” with the call to action “Start the Conversation”.
Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy. We know that suicide is preventable; it’s not inevitable.

It's important to talk openly about suicide to stop the stigma around it. Even small conversations can help make our society more supportive and understanding. By talking, we can break down the barriers, spread awareness and give people the chance to express how they feel and get the support they need.
Visit the Samaritans website for information and advice on how you can help make a change. It could even save a life.
