World Suicide Prevention Day – Changing the Narrative on Suicide
The theme for World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) 2024-2026 is: “Changing the Narrative on Suicide”.
The aim of the theme is to raise awareness about the importance of changing the narrative – the way we look and talk about suicide.
It’s about shifting from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding, and support.
Start the conversation today. Every chat, no matter how small, builds a more supportive and understanding society. Together, we can make a difference and prioritize suicide prevention, ensuring everyone gets the help they need.
