World Su***de Prevention Day
10 September 2018

World Su***de Prevention Day is an annual awareness raising event organised by International Association for Su***de Prevention (IASP) and the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The theme of this year’s World Su***de Prevention Day is “Working together to prevent su***de”; reminding us that su***de is a community issue and is everyone's business. No one should suffer alone and together we can fight su***de and reach out to others when they are in need.

It is so important to create awareness around su***de prevention as more than 800,000 people take their lives each year across the world. In South Africa, more than 8 300 people die by su***de a year - an average of 23 a day.

Reaching out to people who are going through a difficult time can make the difference between life and death. People who are feeling desperate or suicidal often feel worthless and hopeless, think that no one cares and that they are a burden. Small things like friends, colleagues or family showing an interest in our well-being, feeling listened to or just being told that 'it's ok to talk' can make a huge difference.

How can you reach out and help?
It can be scary to approach someone who is struggling to cope; you may not know what to say, how to start a difficult conversation or you may worry that you will make things worse. However, you do not need to be an expert. Often, just asking if someone is OK and letting them know that you are listening can give people the confidence to open up about how they are feeling and what has brought su***de into their lives.

safeTALK (su***de alertness for everyone) is a community-based training programme, widely available to “gatekeepers” in our communities; people who have the potential to connect with others who may be in distress or crisis. Some examples include parents, teachers, au-pairs, psychology and social work students, sports coaches, community workers or staff working in health-related settings.

If you would like to be equipped to “take a minute and change a life”, Su***de Survivors will be offering a safeTALK training on the 15th of September 2018 from 1.30pm – 5pm in Edenvale.
If you are interested in attending or would like further information about this safeTALK training, or you would like Su***de Survivors to offer a Su***de Awareness and Prevention talk at your School, College, University, Workplace, Book Club, Church or community group, please email: Su***de.survivors@outlook.com
