Having lost 3 close friends to suicide over the years this is an important space of discussion for me. Repost from @postpunkproject • Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, an awareness day observed on 10th September every year, in order to provide worldwide commitment and action to prevent suicides. The latest suicides statistics showed that in 2018, in the UK and Republic of Ireland, more than 6,800 people died by suicide. Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy. And we know that suicide is preventable, it’s not inevitable. But not being okay is still widely stigmatised. And governments can still make better, more ambitious plans to prevent suicide. If you need someone to talk to you can contact The Samaritans on 116 123 free, day or night, 365 days a year. #suicideprevention #suicideawarness #samaritans #itsokaynottobeokay #itsokaytonotbeokay #stigmafree #worldsuicidepreventionday #suicidepreventionmonth #suicidepreventionmonth2020 #suicidepreventionday #suicideawareness #suicideisnottheanswer #depression #depressionawareness #depressionhelp #anxiety #anxietyawareness #breakthestigma #endthestigma #stopthestigma #yourenotalone #endstigma #stigmafree #stigmafighter #supportsaveslives #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth
