Suicide prevention and awareness of the importance of mental health are highlights of the month
Reinforcing the importance of treating mental health seriously and with empathy is the focus of the so-called Yellow September, a suicide prevention campaign that takes place throughout the month of September. Created in Brazil, this campaign brings together several actions and events that aim to disseminate information and offer support to people facing emotional crises.
The Suassuna Institute, a body that organizes and holds congresses, seminars, workshops and extensions aimed at psychology professionals, participates in and supports Yellow September through its actions. Together with the Umbiguinho Network of Obstetric Psychologists, a series of actions and lives will be carried out with themes that cover mental health.
According to Danilo Suassuna, creator of the Suassuna Institute, Yellow September is the time to reinforce the importance of seeking psychological and emotional support at any stage of life. “Both society and public authorities must join forces to create an environment of support and understanding of the internal issues of each individual”, he states.
According to the psychologist, it is necessary to increase awareness about suicide prevention around the world. He explains that suicidal behavior profoundly impacts families and communities and is a public health challenge. “The objectives of the campaign include promoting information, such as alerting people to signs of people asking for help, and the importance of investing in mental health for everyone.”
According to the WHO, more than 700,000 people die by suicide each year and almost 77% of all global suicides occur in low- and middle-income countries.
