Wednesday is World Suicide Prevention Day and we are supporting PAPYRUS to change the narrative on suicide.

In 2024 alone:

🟣 Over 12,000 interactions took place on HOPELINE247 during the night.
🟣 Children as young as 9 years old called HOPELINE247 for help.
🟣 A third of all safety plans were created by people under 19.

Behind every number is a life. Behind every message is a person looking for hope. This World Suicide Prevention Day start the conversation and help young people feel heard.
