World Suicide Prevention Day HistoryWorld Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) aims to raise awareness about the issue of suicide and promote global efforts in its prevention. The day serves as a platform to encourage a collaborative approach, engaging governments, non-governmental organizations, academic institutions, and individuals in sharing information, research, and resources on suicide and its prevention. By acknowledging the significance of this public health concern, WSPD seeks to foster open discussion, reduce stigma, and support those affected by suicide. It was established in 2003 by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), focused on various aspects of suicide prevention. In Canada, suicide is the ninth leading cause of death, revealing the urgency to tackle this issue within the country. According to a report by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA), 4,000 Canadians die by suicide each year, while many others continue to struggle with mental health challenges. Consequently, WSPD aims to highlight the importance of disseminating evidence-based interventions in a Canadian context and promoting access to mental health services across the nation. World Suicide Prevention Day is observed in Canada through various events and activities designed to increase public knowledge and participation in suicide prevention efforts. Organizations such as the CMHA and the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (CASP) organize events, workshops, and campaigns on September 10th each year to promote awareness and provide resources to Canadians in need. The collective effort on this particular day serves as an opportunity for Canada to reaffirm its commitment to addressing and preventing suicide and to fostering a supportive environment for those impacted.
