September is Suicide Prevention Month.

According to data released by the World Health Organization in 2021, 703,000 people die by suicide each year, with many more attempting suicide. Suicide is a tragedy that affects families, communities, and entire nations, leaving lasting impacts on the loved ones of those who have died. Suicides occur across all stages of life; in 2019, it was the fourth leading cause of death globally among individuals aged 15-29.

In the United States, according to the CDC, suicide was among the top nine leading causes of death for people aged 10-64 in 2022, and it was the second leading cause of death for those aged 10-14 and 25-34.

However, suicide is preventable.

Wake County, Alliance Health, Recovery Innovations and other community partners are
joining together on World Suicide Prevention Day, Tuesday, Sept. 10, to host a free,
community-wide event to raise awareness about suicide prevention.

If you live in North Carolina, you are invited to join us for the “Suicide Prevention Awareness Event,” featuring a film screening and a panel discussion. Please scan the QR code on the poster to register—we look forward to seeing you there.

9月是预防自杀月。

据世界卫生组织的2021年公布的数据，每年有70.3万人自杀身亡，许多人自杀未遂。自杀是影响家人、社区和整个国家的悲剧，对死者亲友造成持久的影响。自杀发生在生命周期的各个阶段。2019年，自杀是全球15-29岁年龄组中第四大死亡原因。

据CDC公布的数据，在美国，2022年，自杀是10-64岁人群死亡的前九大原因之一，是10-14岁和25-34岁人群的第二大死因。

然而，自杀可以预防的。如果您住在北卡州维克郡，欢迎您参加这个活动——“预防自杀宣传活动”（包括电影放映和小组讨论），请扫海报中的二维码报名。
