- World Suicide Prevention Day Established in 2003 by the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), World Suicide Prevention Day brings together more than 60 countries around a shared message: suicide is preventable. Suicide can affect anyone, but transgender people face significantly higher rates of suicidal thoughts and attempts, highlighting the urgent need for accessible mental health support, affirming care, and communities where people feel seen, valued, and accepted. On World Suicide Prevention Day, we remind our transgender and non-binary community that you matter, your life matters, and you deserve support. Creating spaces of belonging, acceptance, and connection can make a life-saving difference.
