Suicide can be prevented...

Every 40 seconds someone dies due to suicide and many more attempt suicide – it can happen to anyone anywhere in the world. However, suicides are preventable and everyone can play a role. This can be a family member, friend or colleague who listens closely or encourages help seeking, a health worker who openly asks about suicidal thoughts or previous attempts, the community who identifies people at risk and provides support. It can also be a policy maker who takes leadership and brings different stakeholders together. WHO’s first World Suicide Report calls upon individuals, communities and countries to act now for preventing suicide.
