World Suicide Prevention Day is observed annually on September 10 to raise awareness about suicide prevention and promote global action. The 2025 observance is marked under the triennial theme “Changing the Narrative,” which emphasises reducing stigma, encouraging open dialogue, and prioritizing mental health at all levels. Each year, more than 720,000 people die by suicide worldwide, making it a leading cause of death among young people. By dedicating this day, global organizations like the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) aim to foster compassion, evidence-based prevention, and proactive support systems.
