Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Every 40 seconds someone dies from suicide. It’s important to reach out and talk to someone if you’re feeling low or have thoughts of taking your own life.
If you find it difficult to talk to a friend or family member, there are various services available to support and help you through your difficulties.
