Why Suicide Awareness Matters
Suicide is a global public health concern, affecting individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life. It is crucial to address this issue head-on and foster a community that supports those in need. By raising awareness about suicide, we can break down the stigma surrounding mental health and provide valuable support systems.

Early intervention plays a vital role in preventing suicide. Our workshop focuses on equipping participants with the knowledge and tools to identify warning signs of suicidal ideation, enabling them to provide timely support to individuals in distress.
