Every year on September 10 World Suicide Prevention Day is observed. Since 2003, the International Association for Suicide Prevention has collaborated with The World Health Organization and The World Federation for Mental Health to host the occasion.
The focus laid out by the organizers is to increase global, regional, national awareness of suicidal tendencies. By identifying the signs correctly, these areas can more efficiently prevent suicides and lower rates drastically.
