World Suicide Prevention Day 2025

World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) 2025 is being observed, September 10, with the theme “Changing the Narrative on Suicide” (2024–2026). The campaign highlights the urgent need to challenge stigma, break harmful myths, and encourage open, compassionate conversations about suicide, which takes over 720,000 lives globally each year. Launched by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and WHO in 2003, WSPD promotes awareness, education, and policy action to strengthen mental health care and support systems.
