We are highlighting World Su***de Prevention Day today, the 10th of September. Details below to help you to recognise the signs and start the conversation.
On World Su***de Prevention Day 2026, the message is clear: talking about su***de openly, compassionately and without judgement can help save lives. This yearβs global campaign, βChanging the Narrative on Su***de,β calls for greater understanding, connection and action.
Warning signs may include talking about death or su***de, expressing hopelessness or feeling trapped, withdrawing from friends and usual activities or showing significant changes in behaviour or mood. If someone you know appears to be struggling:
- Listen without judgement
- Take their words seriously
- Ask how they are feeling and encourage them to seek professional help
- Stay connected and help them access appropriate support
- If there is immediate danger, seek emergency help without delay
Experts note that su***de is a major global public-health issue but prevention is possible. Sometimes, simply noticing a change, reaching out and being willing to listen can be an important first step. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services or a qualified mental-health professional. ***dePreventionDay ***dePrevention
