About World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD)World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) was established in 2003 in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO). It's a vital advocacy event aimed at reaching national organizations, governments, and the general public with one powerful message: suicide can be prevented.Recognized as a significant policy achievement by the WHO, WSPD has sparked national and local campaigns that raise awareness and reduce the stigma surrounding suicide. Each year, the reach and impact of WSPD continue to grow. In recent years, the day has been observed in over 60 countries, featuring hundreds of educational and commemorative events, press briefings, and public conferences.Join us this year as we continue to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and inspire hope.
