World Suicide Prevention Day is observed on 10th September each year. This day is dedicated to raising awareness about suicide, encouraging open conversations, and promoting actions that can help prevent suicide on a global scale. The focus is on providing support to those in need, spreading awareness about mental health, and reducing the stigma associated with seeking help.
