You will just be surprised to know the number of deaths that are caused due to suicide every year, which is around one million. According to the latest statics, more than 2500 people do suicide every year in Australia and the number is 6000 in UK and ROI. Viewing the severity of the problem, the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) joined its hands with World Health Organization (WHO) to host the World Suicide Prevention Day which was first launched in 2003. Since then, 10 September is observed as the prevention day for the suicide, all over the world.

On this day, various events, conferences, campaigns and road shows are organized to spread the word about the main cause of premature death i.e. the suicide. It has been believed that game can be changed by reaching out the people who are in difficulty and are fed up with the daily-life problems. Even a 10 minutes talk can divert their mind and ignite the feeling of enjoying their precious sojourn on the planet.

Talking about the reasons for suicide, there can be many which can let the person feel alone, hopeless and can make him pessimistic. Once the person starts feeling worthless, not loved or not cared, then he often thinks about the suicide. But, the small things like listening to him carefully, making him feel loved and being special, or just asking the question that whether he is OK, can make a big difference.

The World Suicide Prevention Day aims at reducing the number of deaths that occur due to suicide and thus, move forward every year by deciding a unique theme. The theme for the year 2016 is “ITS OKAY TO TALK”. The people participating in the various events organized on this day will connect with others (especially with those who are assumed to be struggling or going through a serious issue that can make them get fed up with his life) and will promote the message that it is OK to talk and share their problems.

So, as the day is approaching, you must plan to make your contribution to the cause. You can connect with as many people you can and ask them if they are OK. Along with that you also need to incite others to do the same and it will only be possible if they will be aware of this day.
