Synopsis
Suicide annually claims around 1,000,000 lives in the world, and for every person who succeeds, there are more than twenty attempts of suicide, and the number of relatives affected is countless. However, we hardly talk about it, and this silence makes it difficult for those who consider this way out as a last alternative, to find the help they need. The stigma associated with mental health, the myths about suicide or the taboos generated in society are to blame for this. Let's break down those barriers: let's talk a lot and with a certain degree of knowledge about suicide in order to prevent it. At some point in life, anyone can feel so overwhelmed and alone or hopeless as to consider a tragic solution.
Today those people may seem anonymous, but maybe your daughter, your best friend, your co-worker or the waiter you chat with every weekend is going through a suicidal experience. With this guide you will understand what they feel, you will understand how they have reached that situation, you will acquire the necessary tools and you will learn how to effectively help both the affected person and their environment. We can all save lives around us, regardless of our background or relationship. You can be the change and prevent suicide.
