World Suicide Prevention Day – Change the Narrative
September 10, 2024
World Suicide Prevention Day 2024 – Change the Narrative is a call to action to “Start the Conversation”.
The aim of the theme is to raise awareness about the importance of changing the narrative surrounding suicide and transforming how we perceive this complex issue. Changing the narrative requires systemic change. It’s about shifting from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding, and support.
This call encourages individuals, communities, organizations, and governments to engage in open, honest discussions about mental health and suicide. By starting conversations, we can break down barriers and raise awareness, check in with a friend or loved one, share personal stories and advocate for mental health resources and support services. Every conversation, no matter how small, contributes to a more supportive and understanding society.
We have a range of training available around suicide awareness which can help to “Start the Conversation”
