Working Together to Prevent Suicide

Over 800,000 people die by suicide annually, representing 1 person every 40
seconds. Suicide prevention remains a universal challenge, but World Suicide Prevention Day, observed annually on September 10th, aims to provide the opportunity for everyone to raise awareness on this global issue. We take a look at the role we can all play in preventing suicide.
