First declared in 2008, it was created to expand upon World Suicide Prevention Day. During this month be sure to take time to strengthen connections that protect those you love before crisis occurs, make sure those around you know where to turn before they need it, build communities where those around you feel safe reaching out for help and support recovery and healing long after a crisis has ended.
