When you want to give up on today, remember the strength you used to get through yesterday, and the new possibilities tomorrow brings.
Suicide is a major public health challenge, claiming the lives of more than 720 000 people every year. Each life lost has profound social, emotional, and economic consequences, deeply affecting families, friends, workplaces, and entire communities around the world.
Every year on 10th of September the world observes World Suicide Prevention Day. The day is organized by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) to raise awareness around the globe that suicide can be prevented.
Established in 2003 by the ASP in collaboration with the WHO, World Suicide Prevention Day seeks to raise global awareness around suicide and its prevention. This annual event provides a platform to discuss strategies to reduce suicide rates, challenge misconceptions, and advocate for better mental health care.
The day’s significance lies in its mission to mobilize governments, communities, and individuals to confront the often-taboo subject of suicide. By bringing suicide prevention into public discourse, the aim is to foster a more understanding and supportive society, where mental health challenges are treated with the same urgency as physical illnesses. With each passing year, World Suicide Prevention Day serves as a call to action to break down the barriers that prevent people from seeking help when they need it most.
World Suicide Prevention Day is observed every year on 10th September to raise awareness about suicide, its prevention, and the importance of mental health. In 2025, the day was marked globally under the theme “Changing the Narrative: Strength Hope Through Action”, emphasizing the need to foster empathy, break stigma, and build strong social connections as protective factors against suicide.
Changing the narrative also means driving systemic change. It calls for suicide prevention and mental health to be a priority in public policy, urging governments and institutions to take action. This includes developing and implementing evidence-based strategies, improving access to quality care, and ensuring that those in distress receive the support they need.
The program was well coordinated by Mental Health Nursing Department in the presence of Principal, all faculty members and students of M.Sc. Nursing 1st, M.Sc. Nursing 2nd year, GNM 1st year and GNM 2nd year.
Organized under the guidance of Dr. G Ramalakshmi, Dean, College of Nursing
