It can be difficult to comprehend why people want to take their own life, but it is important to understand that many of them don’t. To them, it is the only way to escape from their pain – their only choice. Suicide, however, is preventable. There are other options. With the right education and knowledge to support, we can all make a difference in someone’s life. Spreading suicide awareness is the key to suicide prevention.

It includes details of how best to approach a difficult intervention conversation, and a list of support services, helplines and webchats that can help those in need.
