September 10th is world suicide prevention day, and September 8th-14th is world suicide prevention week. Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in many countries and research suggests that about 5% of the population will have thoughts about being dead in any 12 month period. In Ireland, where I live, more people die from suicide each year than in road deaths. For more information about suicide prevention week see: http://www.suicideprevention.ie or www.suicidology.org.
