World Suicide Prevention Day
Every Buckeye plays a role in suicide prevention! Let's create a campus community where we shift from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding and support. Join us and our 2025 SPP WSPD partners as we together reduce mental health stigma and promote hope and healing on Sept. 10.
Registration to volunteer is coming soon!

About World Suicide Prevention Day
Established in 2003 by the International Association for Suicide Prevention with the World Health Organization (WHO), September 10 is recognized as World Suicide Prevention Day. The purpose is to raise awareness around the globe that suicide can be prevented and is a call to action that encourages everyone to help reduce stigma around suicide and mental health. This theme also emphasizes the need to prioritize suicide prevention and mental health in policy making, advocating for an increase in access to care and providing support for those in need.
