World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10 is the perfect time to come together and talk about suicide prevention! This day has been celebrated since 2003, when it was founded by the International Association for Suicide Prevention. It's a chance not just to raise awareness but also to celebrate life, love, and hope. Together we can make a difference in our communities and save lives that would otherwise be lost too soon.
