The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 703,000 people die by suicide each year. These global suicide rates are a serious public health concern. Every life lost to suicide creates a devastating impact to families, communities, and nations.
To highlight this issue and raise awareness, September 10 is marked every year as the World Suicide Prevention Day. Light a candle near a window at 8 p.m. to show your support for suicide prevention to remember a lost loved one and for the survivors of suicide.
