September is National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. World Suicide Prevention Day is the 10th. Join us as we rally together for World Suicide Prevention Day on Tuesday, September 10, 2024. This powerful day of global observance brings together over 60 countries, uniting us in our shared mission to promote stigma reduction, advocate for policy change, encourage help seeking, and honor the memories of those lost to suicide, those who have survived suicide attempts, and those who bear the weight of grief.

This year, we are continuing our theme of “We all have a role to play” in the overarching theme as Changing the Narrative on Suicide. This is a call to action to “Start the Conversation”.

Suicide is a national health problem and currently ranks as the second leading cause of death for ages 10-44. Suicide is also one of the most preventable types of death in our nation. Everyone has a role to play to save lives and create healthy and strong individuals, families, and communities.

In this spirit, we stand united in our commitment to reduce suicide, empowering individuals with the confidence to take action. Know that you’re not suffering alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out.
