Today is Word Suicide Prevention Day and as highlighted last year, the day is currently aiming to change the narrative on suicide and shift from silence to openness, empathy and support. Supporting mental health professionalsPicking up on any cues that could indicate someone is at risk, as discussed above, requires acute awareness. Suicide prevention is therefore also about supporting those who support others – something which is often overlooked when considering suicide prevention approaches. As part of our World Mental Health Day content and activities last year, we published an Opinion from Dr Heliana Ramirez in which she calls for a reframing of mental health in the workplace to help combat workplace-related suicides. PLOS Mental Health will continue to publish and disseminate studies that contribute to suicide prevention.
