Activities on World Suicide Prevention Day in Germany

For over 20 years, events marking World Suicide Prevention Day have been publicized on a central website in Germany.
In Germany, more than 10,000 people die by suicide every year—significantly more than in traffic accidents. World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10 draws attention to the fact that suicide is a societal issue that affects many people, families, institutions, communities, and social networks.

Last year, more than 50 events related to World Suicide Prevention Day took place nationwide. They were organized by counseling centers, self-help groups, regional networks, church and local government organizations, and civil society initiatives.
Events include: conferences, lectures, information booths and events, church services, public campaigns, film and theater performances, poster campaigns, social media campaigns, and much more.
