It's heartbreaking to know that the World Health Organization estimates that 800,000 people die from suicide globally each year, which is equivalent to one person every 40 seconds. As we read this, it's important to remember that someone may be struggling with depression or other mental health issues, and may be feeling like they have nowhere to turn. It's crucial that we come together and support each other in the face of these challenges. By building awareness and offering our hands of support, we can work together to prevent further loss of life. Let's not turn a blind eye to the signs of mental health issues and instead, let's make sure that no one feels alone in their struggles. Together, we can make a difference.
