WORLD SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY
Sunday 10 October is World Suicide Prevention Day. The theme for this year is "With understanding, new hope", focussing on turning current scientific knowledge and research about suicidal behaviour into practial programmes and activities to reduce suicidal behaviour and change lives. This is an initiative of the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP), in conjunction with the World Health Organisation. See links below for a copy of the IASP pamphlet on World Suicide Prevention Day, as well as a link to the Living is For Everyone (LIFE) website – an Australian website focussing on suicide prevention.
