World Suicide Prevention Day

T/W Suicide and Mental Health.

Today collectively we are marking World Suicide Prevention Day. The conversation around mental health has become even more crucial since the pandemic as resources became more digital and remote, people were left in isolation and feeling cut off from the rest of the world.

Speaking about suicide does not make you weak or an attention seeker. Your feelings are valid and should not be crucified regardless of which community you are from.

Having external support can help break the stigma and help with alternative thinking and healthier coping mechanism.
