World Suicide Prevention Day

World Suicide Prevention Day is hosted on 10 September each year by the International Association for Suicide Prevention and provides the opportunity for people, across the globe, to raise awareness of suicide and suicide prevention.

Suicide is the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the country, but suicides among teenage girls and young women have almost doubled in recent years.

The theme for World Suicide Day 2021, as set by the International Association for Suicide Prevention is ‘creating hope through action’.

Our message this year is clear – we’re asking you to create hope through action by learning more about how you can support someone in your life who may be experiencing suicidal thoughts or at risk of suicide.
