World Suicide Prevention Day – Saturday 10 September
About 800,000 people die from suicide every year. Befrienders Worldwide members seek to help people contemplating suicide.
A suicide note was found in the apartment of someone who had jumped off a nearby high bridge. It read:
‘I am walking to the bridge now. If one person stops me on the way and says ‘hello’, I’m turning around and coming home.'
Can you say ‘hello’ to someone who is walking to that bridge?
