We observe Suicide Prevention Awareness Month to remember those affected by suicide and to raise awareness of resources for suicide prevention.
In addition, September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day. Across the world, nearly three quarters of a million people end their lives by their own hand each year. World Suicide Prevention Day aims to educate world citizens on suicide and raise awareness about the help available to those suffering from depression and addiction and contemplating suicide.
