UM GSTC - Help is Within Reach: Suicide Prevention 2024

An estimated 703,000 people a year take their life around the world. For every suicide, there are likely 20 other people making a suicide attempt and many more have serious thoughts of suicide. Millions of people suffer intense grief or are otherwise profoundly impacted by suicidal behaviours.
Each suicidal death is a public health concern with a profound impact on those around them. By raising awareness, reducing the stigma around suicide, and encouraging well-informed action, we can reduce instances of suicide around the world.
By supporting mental health bills, being educated on the signs, and being kinder to one another, we can help lessen the count of suicide victims and be a better community for the future generations.
