CW: Su***de
September is recognised as World Su***de Prevention month, and while the prevention of su***de is definitely something we should work on daily, having a month to dedicate to the cause highlights how important mental health is.
According to data from 2019, there were 5,691 su***de registered in England and Wales!
As a community, we should work towards creating a healthy and open support network for people to express a range of emotions.
