WORLD SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY

1 Comment

Read Now
 
PsyGlobal is proud to support World Suicide Prevention Day.
"Given that suicide is a preventable cause of death which is important to individuals, families and communities, saying nothing about how to prevent it makes no sense.

If you are worried that someone may be thinking about suicide, saying nothing to them makes no sense.

And, if you know someone who has experienced a loss, saying nothing also makes no sense."
HAVE THE TALK.

Myth: People who talk about suicide aren’t serious and won’t go through with it.
