This post is a day late but I still felt it was important enough to still do.
Yesterday, September 10th, 2011, was World Suicide Prevention Day. Thanks to reader, Jeana, for emailing me and letting me know.
World Suicide Prevention Day is held on September 10th each year. The purpose of this day is to raise awareness around the globe that suicide can be prevented. Disseminating information, improving education and training, and decreasing stigmatization are important tasks in such an endeavour. The theme in 2011 is “Preventing Suicide in Multicultural Societies”.

Due to my depression and mental health series, I feel this is apropo. Visit the International Association for Suicide Prevention website for more information about suicide prevention and World Suicide Prevention Day. I have already marked it in my calendar for upcoming years.
