Suicide Awareness Week
Sept. 10-16, 2023
The week coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day, Sept. 10, a global event that is organized by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and co-sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO). World Suicide Prevention Day began in 2003 with the purpose to raise awareness around the globe that suicide can be prevented. Events throughout the week focus on the ideas of "Hope, Help, and Strength", "We Got Your Back", and "Vandals Helping Vandals".
Learn about prevention, take part in a training, participate in the annual Connecting U & I Suicide Awareness 5k, and more throughout the week.
