Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. NKM has decided to mark this day by sharing some guidance on how to ask someone if they are having suicidal thoughts.
As a community, we need to become more confident in talking about suicide. Through open conversations and safe spaces, we can help people access the support they need.
If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, or if you are concerned that someone else may be, please do not struggle in silence. Support is available.
World Suicide Prevention Day
World Suicide Prevention Day is a chance for people to come together, raise awareness, and take meaningful steps towards preventing suicide and supporting those who may be struggling to cope.
