Suicide is not a comfortable subject to talk about. But we all can reach in and ask somebody if they are in distress or having suicidal thoughts.

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay
An estimated 703,000 people a year take their life around the world.

For every suicide, there are likely 20 other people making a suicide attempt and many more have serious thoughts of suicide.

#BeTheLight and prevent suicide.

Preventing Suicide requires us to speak openly about suicide. You can #BeTheLight.

World Suicide Prevention Day is almost upon us, here's myth #6

This myth is tinged with sadness because I have met too many people who have lost a loved one, but had felt falsely reassured because their loved one’s emotional state had improved in days before death 😢

Rory O'Connor @suicideresearch

We're another day closer to World Suicide Prevention Day, so here's another #SuicideMyth that needs to be challenged: myth #5, that suicidal behaviour is motivated by attention-seeking

It is not!

It is a marker of distress that warrants compassion and understanding.
