This past Sunday 10th October was World Mental Health Day. This year’s theme for the day was ‘mental health in an unequal world’ which seems more relevant than ever before, particularly following the devastating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

This September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and Friday 10th September marks World Suicide Prevention Day. With suicide being the 2nd largest cause of death worldwide, I believe it’s more important than ever to begin breaking down the stigma surrounding suicide by starting up conversations to educate and support each other.
