World Suicide Prevention Day

World Suicide Prevention Day is a special day that happens once a year to help stop people from hurting themselves. We want to make sure everyone knows they are important and that life can be wonderful.

Sometimes people feel very sad and they may think that nobody cares about them or that life isn't worth living. This is a very difficult feeling that affects many people around the world. We want to help those people by providing tools and support so they can talk to someone and find hope.

On World Suicide Prevention Day, people all over the world work together to share information and resources to help others. They may talk about ways to spot signs that someone might be thinking of hurting themselves, and what they can do to help. They might also share stories of people who have gone through tough times but found hope and happiness again.

By working together on this special day, we hope to reduce the number of people who hurt themselves and make the world a more caring and positive place. Remember, you are important and loved, and there is always hope.
