Changing the Narrative on Suicide

#StartTheConversation

Suicide remains a critical global issue, affecting individuals and communities worldwide.

The theme for World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) 2024-2026 is Changing the Narrative on Suicide.

The aim is to raise awareness about the importance of changing the narrative surrounding suicide, shifting from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding, and support.
