Op 10 september is het Werelddag Suïcidepreventie (WDSP) en vragen we aandacht voor suïcidepreventie. Ook dit jaar is het thema #StartTheConversation.

Het is niet makkelijk om gesprekken over zelfmoord te starten met familie en vrienden, maar het kan een wereld van verschil maken. Praat, luister zonder oordeel, en laat weten dat je er bent.

Tips nodig? Bezoek deze website over hoe je deze gesprekken kan starten: https://www.zelfmoord1813.be/ik-ben-bezorgd-om-iemand/hoe-kan-ik-een-gesprek-aangaan

Today, on September 10, we recognize World Suicide Prevention Day, a time to highlight the urgent need for open conversations about suicide. With over 700,000 lives lost each year, it’s crucial to shift from stigma and silence to understanding and support.

Let’s come together to start the conversation. Every discussion, no matter how small, can make a difference in our communities. It’s time to prioritize mental health and advocate for policies that ensure access to care for those in need.

Remember, suicides are preventable. 💚
