Hello everyone! Happy Monday and happy new month!

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month!

Every year, the world loses one person every 40 seconds to suicide. That’s more than 800,000 lives each year, lives full of dreams, families, and untold stories. Behind every statistic is a friend, a sibling, a child, or a colleague who felt alone in their pain.

But here’s the truth: suicide is 100% preventable. Often, it only takes one moment of connection to break through the silence. A message. A call. A reminder that someone cares.

That’s why this challenge matters so deeply.

When people feel connected, they are significantly less likely to consider suicide. In fact, research shows that those with strong social ties are up to 60% more resilient in the face of crisis.

Small gestures, a check-in text, a few minutes of listening, or saying “you’re not alone”, can ease stress and spark hope.

Suicide remains the second leading cause of death among teenagers worldwide, and rates have risen by 30% over the last two decades.

Silence doesn’t save lives, but conversations do.

This September, we invite you to take part in the 30-Day Reach Out Challenge. Reach out to one person every day, whether it’s a loved one, a colleague, or even someone you’ve lost touch with. Together, our daily acts of kindness can create a ripple of hope, compassion, and connection.
Let’s show the world that none of us are truly alone.
