World Suicide Prevention Day
Every year, over 720,000 lives are lost to suicide worldwide. Behind each number is a story, a family, a community forever changed. Today, we come together to break the silence, challenge stigma, and offer hope.
Talking about suicide doesn’t increase risk -it saves lives.
Asking someone how they’re really doing can be the lifeline they need.
Let’s create a world where mental health is prioritized, where people feel safe to speak up, and where help is always within reach.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. You are not alone.
In Canada, you can call or text 988 for free, 24/7 support.
Let’s light a candle tonight at 8 PM to honuor those we’ve lost and to shine a light of hope for those still fighting.
