World Suicide Prevention Day is hosted on 10th September each year by the International Association for Suicide Prevention and provides the opportunity for people, across the globe, to raise awareness of suicide and #SuicidePrevention.
#Suicide is the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the country, but suicides among teenage girls and young women have almost doubled in recent years.
The 2025 theme for World Suicide Prevention Day, as set by the International Association for Suicide Prevention is ‘#ChangeTheNarrative
Their message is clear – Changing the narrative on suicide aims to inspire individuals, communities, organizations, and governments to engage in open and honest discussions about suicide and suicidal behaviour. By initiating these vital conversations, we can break down barriers, raise awareness, and create better cultures of understanding and support.
If you need help with your mental health, there are hundreds of organisations across the UK dedicated to providing support. Find organisations in your local area on aDoddle.
