September 10th is World Suicide Prevention Day, a day first established in 2003 to raise awareness and reduce stigma about suicide, and highlight that suicide is preventable [11,12].
That’s why we have decided to collaborate with @988Canada and @camhnews to change the narrative around suicide and make this year all about talking, listening and caring differently [13]. 💛
