What do you think about posting something on our community? Simply to raise awareness and remind useful resources. I will try and write something in the next couple of hours, for you to say if you think it may be ok, make suggestions, edit, whatever :)

It is a topic I am quite sensitive about and with 7cups being so devoted to mental health I think it would be sad to miss this opportunity...

What about something like this?
The 10th September is World Suicide Prevention Day. The aim of the event is to encourage us to engage with each other and to join together to spread awareness of suicide prevention.
Every year, suicide is among the top 20 leading causes of death globally for people of all ages. It is responsible for over 800,000 deaths, which equates to one suicide every 40 seconds. Every life lost represents someones partner, child, parent, friend or colleague. For each suicide approximately 135 people suffer intense grief or are otherwise affected. This amounts to 108 million people per year who are profoundly impacted by suicidal behaviour. Suicidal behaviour includes suicide, and also encompasses suicidal ideation and suicide attempts. For every suicide, 25 people make a suicide attempt and many more have serious thoughts of suicide.
If you find yourself in immediate danger, please reach out for help. 7cups listeners are not trained to handle this kind of crisis, but you can find useful resources here:

If you are not currently a harm to yourself, but still experiencing suicidal ideation, you may consider talking to a licensed therapist. A few of our therapists have Suicidal Ideation as their area of expertise.
