Taking Time to Reach Out
Download our Taking Time to Reach Out resource – because changing the narrative on suicide begins with each of us. Reaching out to a family member, friend, colleague, or even a stranger can offer hope and potentially change the course of someone’s life. A simple act of care, a genuine question, or a moment of listening can make a powerful difference. No matter how small, every action counts, and while we may never fully know the impact of our words or gestures, we all have the ability to reach in and ask someone how they are really doing.\
Facts & Figures
Download our fact sheet on global suicide statistics – a vital resource that brings together the most up-to-date facts and figures.

This fact sheet not only highlights the scale of the issue but also sheds light on who is most at risk and why prevention efforts matter.
