Yesterday, people gathered to remember those lost to suicide, to raise awareness, & take action. The work does not end here. The message of #WorldSuicidePreventionDay must continue to change the narrative on suicide, advocate for better services & create a world where support is always within reach.

Suicide prevention requires systemic change. Governments worldwide must:

- Decriminalise suicide
- Implement national suicide prevention strategies
- Fund accessible mental health care

Policy saves lives. Let’s demand action.
