Suicide claims 1 million lives worldwide each year, resulting in one suicide every 40 seconds, and several million more suicide attempts each year. Suicide and suicidal behavior affects individuals of all ages, genders, races and religions across the planet.
National Suicide Prevention Week and World Suicide Prevention Day represent a call for action and involvement by all governments, organizations, and individuals worldwide to contribute to the cause of suicide awareness and prevention through activities, events, conferences and campaigns. By collaborating together in this endeavor, we can indeed save lives.
