The alarming rates of suicide all over the world have made World Suicide Prevention Day, observed on September 10 every year, more significant.

This day was established by the International Association for Suicide Prevention and is co-sponsored by WHO.

The major motto of the years 2021-23 is “Creating hope through action.”

This highlights the need for a ‘call for help’ during any major crisis leading to suicides.

It also emphasizes the imperativeness of even the smallest steps, which could become magical leaps in reducing suicide mortality rates.
