From the Samaritans on this day: Suicide is not inevitable. You can interrupt someone’s suicidal thoughts. You could save a life.
People often think of interruptions as something annoying; a phone going off during a film, or someone telling the punchline of your joke before you do. But sometimes, an interruption could save a life.
This World Suicide Prevention Day, we’re sharing one important message: If you think someone might be suicidal, take action, interrupt their thoughts and show them you care.
