世界预防自杀日是2012年9月10号。
Each year as many as 1,000,000 people are estimated to die by suicide across the globe; many, many more make nonfatal attempts. IASP exists to decrease these staggering numbers and to make a difference in the lives of those at risk. By networking together national and local suicide prevention organizations, researchers, volunteers, clinicians and professionals to share knowledge, experience, and skills, IASP provides support and fosters collaborations to prevent suicide and alleviate its effects.
I welcome you to join our network by becoming a member of IASP, attending our International and Regional Congresses, participating in IASP Task Forces on cutting-edge challenges in suicide prevention, reading and contributing to our official journal, Crisis, and conducting local and national activities on September 10, World Suicide Prevention Day. Suicide can be prevented and your involvement can make a difference.
Please do not hesitate to contact me to learn more about how you or your organization can participate in IASP.
