World Suicide Prevention Day HistoryWorld Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) is an annual observance dedicated to creating awareness about the magnitude of suicide as a global public health issue. In addition, it promotes prevention efforts and the importance of collaboration among various sectors to address the problem effectively. This day aims to reduce the stigma around suicide, encourage conversations around mental health, and support those who have been affected by suicide. Established in 2003 by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Federation for Mental Health, WSPD has grown in significance around the globe. New Zealand, a country with alarming suicide rates, particularly among its youth and indigenous Māori population, has made suicide prevention a priority. The observance of WSPD serves as an opportunity for communities, organizations, and individuals across the country to join efforts in addressing this critical issue affecting many New Zealanders. Throughout New Zealand, various activities and initiatives take place on World Suicide Prevention Day, which falls on September 10th each year. These events may include educational workshops, community walks, and the lighting of monuments in commemoration. In 2021, various organisations like the Mental Health Foundation, the New Zealand Association of Counsellors, and Suicide Prevention collectively launched the Suicide Prevention Strategy to facilitate a national conversation on suicide prevention. By participating in WSPD and supporting related initiatives, New Zealanders can contribute to the goal of reducing one of the leading causes of preventable deaths in the country.
